GHOSTLY CAST & STORY

Welcome to the Grave Inn!

Welcome to the Grave Inn! The Dead was born in cold and grey 2001. They spawned their own poisoned mixture of 60s garage psychobilly punk and released the three records "FIESTA DE LOS MUERTOS" (Crazy Love Records), "TAKE YOU HOME" (808/Leech Redda) and "THE DEAD ARE DEAD" (Chop Records). When they reached a musical fork in the road in 2009, the lineup mutated: Johnny Bravo left the band. Vincenzo Muerto (vocals, guitar) and Tommy Tombstone (drums) met the two long goners Dr. Perdido (lead guitar, harp, back vocal) and Diemito ( bass, back vocal), who joined The Dead existence.

The two new deadliners fit in the zombie-combo like a tombstone to a graveyard, and for next two years, The Dead burrowed down in their crypt spewing a bunch of new songs. During this escape, their musical style morphed into a new kind of noise, combining parts of 60s garage punk, rock n roll, western cow punk, psychobilly, beat and tranced hoodoo rhythms, all shocked up and twisted together into a unique zombie-combo toxic brew of RAW ALPINE GARAGE ROCK.

In 2011 The Dead decided to force their new sounds out of Hell and emerged from their graves to record their new album "AT THE GRAVE INN" (Subversive Records) at Admiral James T's Dalastudios. The new record turned out to be the bands most varied and bone-swinging album due to the different sparks that each new member brought into the band, including both a lead and rhythm guitar and 60s inspired choir backgrounds. It has a tonal variety that The Dead also brings to their wild and bone shaking live shows.

Over the years The Dead played more than a hundred shows all over Switzerland (including Reithalle Bern, lUsine, Jazzkantine, Gaskessel, Sedel, Dynamo, Bikini Test, Industrie 45, Schüür, Gaswerk, Hirscheneck, Tap Tab, Rote Fabrik, Grabenhalle, ISC, Salzhaus, Fri-Son, Proger, Kofmehl, Oxx, Himmel, Safari Beat Club) with skull slurping bands like Baby Woodrose, Demented Are Go, Frentic Flinstones, Long Tall Texas, The Monsters, Reverend Beat-Man, Texas Terry Bomb, Tight Finks, Fuckadies, Hillbilly Moon Explosion, Gutter Queens, The Masons, Moped Lads, Astro Zombies, Metallic Bananas, Huckedicht, Nguru, The Hormonauts, Bloodsucking Zombies from outer space, The Sea and many more. In 2004 and 2007 they toured through Germany, Czech Republic and Slovakia and played at the legendary "Make Trouble At The Chappel Festival" in a godless church in Brussels.

Now arriving at their 10th anniversary carrying their new lineup and latest album on their backs, The Dead are ready to haunt the world of the living and sweat their dead minds out their bloody bones. It's the finest RAW ALPINE GARAGE ROCK- truly the hangmans' choice!
