The Dead C

Well, continuing on with our New Zealand odyssey, we’ve got those crazy dudes from Dunedin, The Dead C! The Dead C are a trio consisting of Bruce Russell, Michael Morley and Robbie Yeats who’ve been making their brand of beautiful noise since 1986. And whoo boy, what music it is! I have no idea how, but they’ve managed to create some of the most lo-fi, uncompromising and brutal, improvisational rock music out there. As with a lot of these New Zealand bands, there really isn’t too much information out there about them. But to be honest, it’s really all about the music, isn’t it?

—–+—–

There’s a great video (look here) of them on some New Zealand top of the pops style show!! I can’t quite imagine how this all came about, but I’m sure glad it did.

    Loving the NZ music! Which is a bit nihilistic I’ll admit, I’m from there/here. But seriously, I keep a close ear on your blog and it was quite cool to check it out today and come across these posts. I was at a music festival (alowhum.com) earlier this year where Pumice climbed to the very top of a _massive_ tree, and the guy running the fest came over and started shouting at him to save it for after his set, classic.

    Glad you’re loving it. Man, wish I could’ve seen some of those shows by A Low Hum. It sounds like they were absolutely incredible. Thanks for introducing me to the A Low Hum site, I think I might join the Singles Club.

    Hey, just found your reply. Yeah I can’t put into words how amazing A Low Hum has been. The gigs are nearly infallible, and camp was possibly the greatest musical experience of my life (second perhaps only to simultaneously losing my virginity and hearing Ziggy & the Spiders from Mars for the first time. too much info?).
    Definitely hit up the singles club, and send me a bell if you’re ever over this way and looking for a gig buddy.
