- Germany Exclusive East Coast Show

A Legend, An Enigma, and to some a Mother of Punk

From her first albums with the Nina Hagen band, to her extensive solo recording and TV career, where does one start discussing Nina Hagen? This is a good place. Punk from the beginning, Nina incorporated countless musical styles in her repertoire, effortlessly creating new genres.Known to some as the Mother of Punk, Nina remains an extraordinary talent and a true international star.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

World Inferno Friendship Society -NYC

World/Inferno Friendship Society is a finely organized mischief cult; not a band. The ideal marriage of nihilist gangsters and technophiliac agrophobes. Conceived originally as merely a vehicle to mess stuff up, the Society has gradually reorganized its priorities replacing street pranks with beautiful musical rants, and is, at its core, a song by song backlash against the Entertainment Industrial Complex.

 

 

 

 

 

The Coffin Nails - UK - Exclusive East Coast Show

These Psychobilly veterans after 20 years are more popular then ever. in 2003, the band went back into the studio and Hard As Nails was recorded and released, again on Greystone Records. This album saw the band returning somewhat to its roots. The album is in places darker and faster than ever before, whilst retaining the touches of humor that the band has become synonymous with.

Drop Dead Festival will be the first time ever the band plays East Coast. Featured in Drop Dead Magazine in USA and many magazines in Europe. This bands has a very energetic exciting show. If you are afraid of the Wrecking pit you better stay back.

 

 

 

 

 

Cinema Strange - California - Exclusive East Coast Show

Since their inception in the 90s, Cinema Strange's consistently well-received albums and theatrical live shows have helped them become synonymous with the Deathrock scene in LA. Singer Lucas Lanthier donned a bridal wedding gown, and kept a plastic cow mask covering his face for the duration of their set at Drop Dead 1. With eccentricity like that, it was hard not to book them again! We've secured them as Drop Dead exclusives this year, so be sure to catch them while they aren't touring Europe. Whether they perform as Elves, Geisha girls, or the British Royal Guard, you can always expect a cinematically strange performance from California's Cinema Strange.

 

 

 

 

 

Frank the Baptist from San Diego play melodic, dark, and emotional music. They Headlined Wave Gothic Treffen this year in Germany (20,000+ people), and have put out two phenomenal albums in the past few years. They are one of the best emerging artists of 2000. This is their first time at the Drop Dead Festival.

Dead Fly Ensemble -CA- Exclusive East Coast Show

"Mother, I am hungry for some musical theater! I long for acoustic guitars, medieval melodies and operatic librettos! I would hear stories of the idle rich, humanoid anomalies, and criminal geniuses of the early nineteenth century! I need to observe the melodious consumption of fruit and the sifting through of old newspapers and listen to the prattle of simple minds and the banter of their superiors! I crave songs that deliver me into new worlds from far away, from long ago, and introduce me to characters I'd be, otherwise, afraid to know! Mother, I am hungry for some theatrical music!"

"My dear! What you want is the Deadfly Ensemble!"

Blitzkid - VA -

Horror Punk at it's best, original and contagious. Sing-a-longs are important, and what better proof can be found than the rows of singing fans you can find at Blitzkid gigs in Germany, Virginia, and everywhere in between. They formed in 1997, but made their big splash with 2003's "Trace of a Stranger". They got picked up by premier horror punk label, Fiend Force Records, and have finished recording their follow up. They're relocating to LA in 2005, to plot with sister band Mister Monster on how to take the horror punk scene by storm.

Bordello - Canada - East Coast Exclusive

Based in Montreal, Canada, Bordello is defined by their energetic and somewhat obscure sound. Formed in the summer of 1997 by Jimmy (bassist) and Jon (guitar), Bordello was a dream about to come true. Since their first on stage performance, end of 1999, Bordello has made its teeth marks in the Montreal gothic and rock' n roll scene. It all began with 4 out of the ordinary guys. In the course of the bands evolution, lead singer from day 1, decided to go his own way, leaving the band in the beginning of 2001.The front was then given to a charming girl, yet angst driven, Nadzine. The band has gone a long way, from what people could firstly see them emerging from the shadows onto a vibrant image. With their always smashing & sexy live performance, Bordello quickly rebuilt a brand new chapter and solidified their reputation: a promising rock band.

Autoexploder - VA -

Experimental Post-Punk with heavy performance art stage act and Plazmatics like Female Vocals

Autoexploder was born out of the chaos, horror, and existential anxiety of everyday living. The band was originally started by Sarah Grimm and her brother, Michael during the summer of 2003. They added a few other members, Noa, Mikie and Anthony; then Michael left to explore the horror of existence around the world. The culmination of the members' collective artistry has resulted in a chaotic yet refined combination of batcave music, social commentary, silliness, philosophical meanderings, old goth music, experimental and noise music, punk rock, poetic terrorism, and sometimes video and/or performance art. Sometimes they pretend to be German and employ bad generally European accents and threaten to "automatically explode" their audience.

BLACK CAT REBELLION - ID-

Sexy, dark, and dangerous Rock n' Roll

They have been around for a short while but have made quite an impact. Mixing rockabilly with 80's deathrock influences helps them come out with a sound that both swings AND scares! Black Cat Rebellion was founded by Brad Scarecrow and Creepy Rob in Late 2003 and later joined by D. Zaster. They set out to combine their influences of Psychobilly/Rockabilly, Surf, 77 Punk, and Oldies music. They blend these influences with a fun and eerie atmosphere as well as a 1950's culture romance.

Black Cat Rebellion's spirit is the same as that of the rebellious attitude associated with the original roots of rock 'n' roll. Their catchy brand of "Trashy Punk Rock 'N' Roll-A-Billy" seems to draw crowds from fans of many genres. Their current full length album, Ain't Got No Time is packed with tracks guaranteed to make you move.

Black Cat Rebellion will continue to cast a sick new shadow on the planet of Rock 'N' Roll for years to come.

6 Gun Republic -NY-

NYC local psycho heros who play a mix of roots blues, rockabilly and punk In one year alone, they've managed to scorch the Doll Hut in California, cause a biker riot at the Deer Crossing in Texas, and blasted the roof off CBGB's in New York Completing a second tour of Finland this year and a full length album in August, they'll be charging toward your town with a record at a full sonic gallop.

Listen to 6 Gun Republic

The Brides -NY-

Bookworm Punk! That's possibly the only way you could describe the overdriven wit wedded-to-77 Punk sensibility that defines the Brides' sound. They released a full length full of Bookworm Punk last year on Hell's Hundred Records, and have embarked on a national tour in support of it. While they've been booking gigs that are all the way in Brazil, you'd be hard pressed to find shows that are half as fun as The Brides' when they're playing to the heckling fans up front, in their hometown of NYC. Look for their debut, it includes a collaboration with Melora Creager of Rasputina, and songs that rival those of every band on this bill.

Entertainme-nt -GA-

Entertainment is dead karaoke. The sound of a break down, formed in 2002. And quickly developed a reputation for their intense, drastic live shows. "Tragic and Ecstatic... flaunting noir? basic sex moves." They released their first 7" in 2003 on Atlanta based Stickfigure Records, which still stands as the labels ..1 selling 7" record. They signed to Luminal records in 2004, a stark light, releasing a follow up 7" single in anticipation of their debut album. Fusing a mixture of Deathrock, Postpunk, Garage rock and New Wave into a modern mesh of groping, existential noise, the orchestration is razor sharp.

"... There's an art to make the prickling heat of agitated music approachable and they have mastered that... It has an 80's spirit which is the sign of art in the gutter... mixing the era following Punk when melodic cadences were being tested, with the stagulated Indie possibilities, and roughening them both up, with a twist of bitter Goth/Deathrock innuendo and attitude."
- Mick Mercer

 

 

 

Bloodshot Bill -Canada-

Bloodshot Bill -- Rockabilly Trash Barbecue Punk explosion from a Montreal mangler. After getting his nasty message across fronting the hubcaps & The Guilloteens, Bill went the true solo one-man-band route, playing guitar and drums, with vocals. Accurately described as "maniacally distorted . . . with accompanying obscene-phone-call, heavy breather vocals," Bloodshot Bill is an old fashioned one-man-band for the new millennium!

Undying Legacy - UK - Exclusive USA Show

Lugosi's Morphine - PA -

Lead vocalist D.F. Lazarus & lead guitarist Slug began in 1990 under the name "3 Days Dead". They operated under this name & with many various other members until 1995. In 1997 they regrouped under the name "Bela's Fix". Bela's Fix put out two cassette releases & existed for a mere year & a half. Lazarus & Slug both took some time off for some serious mental re-evaluation & Lugosi's Morphine crawled out of their graves in late 2002. They were now in 2003 joined by Anastasia (formerly of Savior Sect, an etherial goth band/ and currently a gothic model) on rhythm guitar & Pat "Spew" Ribbon (former lead vocalist of "The Second Class Sinners", trash punk) on bass & drummer "Herb".

Listen to Lugosi's Morphine

Kastle GreySkull -CA-

They formed back in 1997, and earned a reputation for being a horror punk band that didn't sound like a Misfits knock-off. While their singer, Bridgett Vera is a certified female Danzig, their sound has more in common with TSOL's "Change Today" than Misfits' "Walk Among Us". It's nice to see a snarling female vocalist with some real guts in her performance, and we'll get just that with Kastle Greyskull.. In 2001, Deathrock.com gave a perfect score for their debut, "Lighten up it's just rape".

Funeral Crashers -NY-


In part Millennial madness, the Funeral Crashers first formed in late 1999, taking initial cues from 70s and 80s punk, postpunk and proto-goth (well before it became fashionable to reference Joy Division or Richard Hell and the Voidoids), "roots" music like the Velvets, Stooges NY Dolls and 70s glam (Eno's "Baby's On Fire" became a recurring cover) and other strangeness, including dark and eccentric late-90s New York acts such as Stiffs Inc., the Brickbats and the Skabs (all since deceased). Smart, moody melodramatic rock'n'roll with an aggressive edge; the songs twitched, crept and assaulted, wailed the Apocalypse on one hand, winked references to historical oddities, horror novels and 50s sci-fi on the other. If the Sex Pistols were "evil Vaudeville," the are musical Grand Guignol. You can dance or you can shudder. They reformed at various times in Brooklyn's late, lamented Sweetwater Tavern, forging contracts subsequently broken by all members. By Spring 2001, internal conflicts and a revolving-door lineup had more or less run the group into the ground. Members acrimoniously went separate ways and moved on to other projects. In spring of 2003, members of the group were approached to play a one-off reunion show for NY Decay Productions' Drop Dead Festival as early pioneers of New York's highly under-the-radar "Deathrock" scene. The band members agreed and put aside their differences long enough to appear at the festival, inspiring audience praise and surprising cult recognition. And then they broke up again. Realizing that documenting Funeral Crashers' material was still viable, the band made plans in late 2003 to record a full-length album and lay itself to rest once and for all. The time was right. So naturally they split up and reformed instead. Instability. . . re-emerging as permanent nightmare, new life after repeated death. Or constant living death? A cat's nine lives? Rasputin's children? The corpse that won't stay buried? Dangerous and uncertain times feed anxiety and tremors in the night. Plots have they laid. . .

The Young Werewolves -PA-

Girl Fronted three piece howling Psycho Garage Punkers from Philly. They knocked them out at Drop Dead 2004 and return to devour the unbelievers.

They mean to infect, and have a 13 track self titled just waiting to sink its fangs in you!

Live Not On Evil - PA -

Philly Punkrock with distinct darker edge, released debut disc "Lucky Stiff" on Oct 13th, 2001 and their new disc "Next time nail it shut" is available now on www.sinisterrecords.com

Philly's Live Not on Evil have been making their mark since their 2001 debut, "Lucky Stiff". They played hard and often, earning gigs with Foetus, Trance to the Sun and Penis Flytrap a long the way. Then they played last year's Drop Dead, and suddenly they realized there was a sizable crowd to lap up their "Static Age" meets "Only Theatre of Pain" Deathrock dirges. Recently, they put out a follow up album titled "Next time Nail it Shut" on Sinister Records, and it has earned them critical acclaim from Mick Mercer, among others. Let's hope they keep at it, and play to bigger and bigger crowds each Drop Dead.

Gein and the GraveRobbers -MA-

quartet, a genre that Gein himself spearheaded with the formation of his label, Necrotone. At a Gein gig in his homestate of Massachusetts, you're likely to find punky types, horror enthusiasts, drunks, surf fans and white capped college kids a like. Such is the draw of Gein, who has released the ultimate Halloween party CD, "The Passion Of The Anti-Christ" earlier this year. This could be the only album you find in both Fright Catalog and Surfing outlets.

Rockin 69's -NY-

Newest NYC Psychobilly rebels. These kids are young and pretty but hey sure know how to wreck. Rockin' 69's are preparing to leave wrecking yards of major cities up and down the East Coast this summer. Not bad for a Rockabilly/Punk band that just formed recently, with an average age of nineteen or twenty.

New Manority - PA -

The New Minority are a three piece Death Rock Psycho Punk band from Philadelphia. Combining the sounds of confrontational, edgy 80s punk like the Dead Kennedys and the Crucifucks with the goth and psychobilly sounds of Christian Death, 45 grave, Batmobile, and The Meteors.

Their style retains, however, the punk lyric style of Jello Biafra, Crass, and Doc Dart. Offensive, energetic political vocals sung over creepy guitar parts make this band amazing.

Their first full length "What's Left of our Freedom?" will be out Sept 1st 2005 on Valiant Death Records www.valiantdeath.com .

. Sasquatch and the sick-a-billys - RI-

Ruthless, gritty and hellbent!!!
Fresh off a six week, 36 city National tour and showing no signs of slowing down.
After three years since forming, the line-up consists of 'Sasquatch' on Guitar/Vocals, 'Johnny Custom' on Upright Bass and 'Miss Natalie' on Drums. Sasquatch rolls his eyes back as if he's talking to the other side and plays guitar like an ancient monster. Johnny Custom rides his bass like a bull that has just escaped the un-holy gates of Purgatory, and Miss Natalie pounds her drums like the Devil's train rides on the tracks to hell. This furious power trio performs regularly in NY-NJ-PA-VA-CT-ME-MA-OH-NH-NC and in their home - Providence, RI. Massive amounts of local, regional and national press has been achieved. This regional/national exposure is just the begining of what's next for these innovators of Rock N Roll. The band has conquered numerous obstacles that are only heard about in movies. Some have called their music a combination of Rockabilly, Psychobilly, Punk and Blues but the only real way to get the genuine picture is to get off your ass, go to a show and pay attention to the revolution that is...

Scarlets Remains -CA-

Scarlet's Remains are one of the recent additions to the new wave of American Deathrock. Of course, you wouldn't know they were new by looking at their lineup, which shares members with vintage LA deathrock bands such as Voodoo Church. Couple that with their debut which was produced by Bari Bari, who also produced Christian Death's "Wind Kissed Pictures" and "Atrocities", and you've got the oldschool tribal 80s LA sound updated for audiences today

Psychocharger - NYC-

N.Y.C.'s Bastard Sons of The King hisself, PSYCHO CHARGER, deliver an ultra-violent satanic death-march thru the rotting R'n'R graveyard that's been described as "Psycho-industrial-rawkillbilly"!!! Founded a few years back in the sin city section of N.Y.C., PSYCHO CHARGER provide a horror-influenced, psycho-industrial-rawk assault that kicks and flails like a pissed-off two-headed bastard child at a family reunion!!! Not only bringing up influences from rockabilly, industrial, punk, surf, & gothic, these N.Y.C. psycho-death rockers also tip the hat and kick the gravestones of grade-Z horror movies, porno, pro-wrasslin', and all things white trash... truly evil heavy-twang hell rock from the righteous side of the Devil's trailer park!

 

Malice in Leatherland -MA-

Still reeling from a gig with The Misfits, Boston's Malice in Leatherland is on the verge of unleashing their self titled debut and adding even more toe-tapping funk-punk to the repertoire they've been honing since they began in 2003. For being a trio, MiL's earned themselves a rep for being the most raucous band on bills where the other bands have twice the members. Maybe it's the fact that drummer, Lindsay Champagne, can be described as a "threshing-machine manga-girl in force", or the fact that their guitarist's last name is Orifice. Regardless, a band will resemble its fans; while Basim the vocalist managed to tackle four people in under two songs at the last Drop Dead - the crowd repaid him by swiping the mic at MiL's NYC gig on June 1st. They could belt out the emo-bashing chorus in "Suburban Holocaust" without him. With a sound that crosses Pfunk with Cock Sparrer, and a crowd who're more determined than a terror organization, Malice in Leatherland is set to demolish Drop Dead Fest this Halloween

DNR -NYC-

D.N.R.’s fast, melodic sound draws on the late 70’s and early 80’s, combining seasoned musicians with fresh faces to breath new life into Punk Rock .

Two of the founding members were cellmates in prison and discovered a common love for music. Now 14 years later DNR is on a crime spree bringing punk rock to those who may or may not want it.

 

Cranked Up -PA-

With their infectious Street Punk, Philly's Cranked Up makes us wish we had our braces and docs on hand at the festival. The band's lineup consists of Street punk scene veterans (Violent Society, 2.5 Children, Dead Empty, Bomb Squadron, Super Hi-5). They're self proclaimed "Left Wing Scum", with overt anti-fascist politics and 2 albums ("Where you stand" and "A call for solidarity") chock full of anthems recalling The Oppressed, the Angelic Upstarts, and more recently, the Street Dogs!
