DEADHEAD SHOW #9 + RECORD PICS

first pictures of the 7" on its way to california so you guys can buy them!

so tonight was our show with ceremony and cruel hand. shit was out of hand. a more than sold out crowd, everyone could barely move. it was great though, and we played to a ton of kids who had never seen us, so that was great. i honestly dont know what else to say about this show, except that i am personally in love with badmouth.

DEADHEAD SHOW #8

tonites show was an incredible nite.
it started off way out in whittier, in a backyard. apparently, 11 bands were supposed to play.. (instant suspicion) and of course on cue right before we go on, the cops come. so the show is

totally bootlegged in a garage in west covina. we played in the hottest, most sweaty pile of kids, and everyone went pretty nuts for us and it was a really good time. then a bunch of bands shared equipment and did small sets after ours that was really good and kids went off for everyone! thanks to andy for coming through on the show in time of need, and his mom who for some reason allowed it. and badmouth and that family of bands for ruling as dudes and for brutal tunes.

DEADHEAD SHOW #7 [new bass player]

last night was our first show with our new bass player Eric Goodman [see above photo to check out this handsome devil]. Eric is more known to shred guitar in the band Restrained or play bass in Bad Lovers, but we're super excited to have him as the newest member of DEADHEAD. everthing has worked out great and he killed it last night. we're glad that tyler can now focus on just being the best singer he can now too. oddly though we only played as a 4 piece as jeremy was unable to make the show.

this was by far the coldest show any of us had ever played. it ended up being outside, in some kids driveway in Baldwin Park. it was literally in the 30 degree range outside [for us Californians thats like -100 degrees]. we got through it and the show was great. thanks to angel for this one. next show is next saturday, another house show, this time in whittier.

DEADHEAD SHOW #6

another show at motion la. this time with a ton of amazing bands. Calculator, Civilian, Restrained, Juarez, and Moldar. What a show.... Its rare that only really good bands play a show, but this was for sure the case. i think this show pretty much speaks for itself. extra special shout out to Blues who were so tight on their shit, it was unreal. thanks to richard for this one. end.

DEADHEAD SHOW #5

so last night we had our 5th show. it was thrown together in only a couple days because of a Touche Amore cancelled house show. so it ended up being Sohns (tx), La Dispute (mi), Rotting Out, and us. it was the first byob show at the spread, and it ended up being way fun and smooth. nothing bad happened, everything was perfect. Sohns killed it first, then La Dispute, who honestly were absolutely incredible, a cut above what most bands will ever become, and then Rotting Out who are so full of fast, hardcore energy that they are undeniably great.

we all agreed that this was our best show so far. we played better, and the enviornment was just so happy and fun. thanks to everybody who came and it made it a literal overnight success.

DEADHEAD SHOW #4

played our 4th show last night. weird situation for sure. a couple weeks ago Arctic Choke (a band from LA) got money stolen from them after a Motion LA show was shut down. sooo they cancelled last week. then yesterday before the show Rotting Out and Badmouth (mind you both LA bands) cancelled. so the show ended up becoming us and a touring band from Texas called Branch Dividian. literally when we showed up it was just us, the bands. so we called up our friends in Demonora (jake plays drums in it) and Veil Era (jake used to play drums in it) and they showed up to do an impromptu set. a few friends ended up showing up and the show got underway. 

first Demonora played and they were super solid. if you havent heard them check them out. then we played. thought we did alright, starting to feel a lot better about things. then Branch Dividian played and they were great, good 80's punk/american nightmare feeel. then Veil Era played and russ (their drummer) got horribly drunk off cognac and vomitted during the set, only to continue playing.....punk as fuck. i wrote all that just to mention that story.

thanks again to the few friends who showed up, i could personally care less about people showing up, but i know it meant a lot to the touring band who just wanted to make a few bucks to get home.

7" Labels/Show #3/+blah

Here is the first preview of "A State of Punk". These labels we're done by Nick Steinhardt [bass player in Touche Amore and graphic design master]. Check his website over at www.23in.com . We think they look amazing. The vinyl will be grey with random splatter colors, so each will have a nice individual look. When the rest of the artwork is finished i'll post it up here. 

So we played Saturday night at The Cocaine. It was a good show, I thought we played the best that we have so far and we got to see some friends we don't normally see come out which was super cool! Thanks to everyone who came out, all the old friends, and our friends at The Cocaine who let this all go down. We played first and then our friends Sheeep came on and played. I don't think there is much else to say about the show, other than I only heard of like 1 person taking pictures, so if I find some i'll probably post them on our myspace. 

I'd also like to mention real quick the anarchy that is happening in Greece. After a cop killed a teenage anarchist, young rebels have been destroying buildings and killing cops and the government has had no control over it. I am not happy about people dying, nor do I ever condone this kind of violence because of the innocent lives it kills. But what I do think is important about all of this is that fact that they are questioning the authority of the police state and trying to topple the oppression of the system. I hope that everything works out in Greece, I hope that the government collapses and the people start what they believe will be best for them. I hope there will be a peaceful resolve to this, and I hope that no more innocent lives are destroyed.
