Dead Larry is one of the most ambitious bands coming out of Iowa City. Formed in 2004, Dead Larry has been working hard to build up a fan base regionally and nationally. Entering the real music scene only a year or so ago Dead Larry has already gone on one self-funded national tour as well as recorded an EP with Miles Nielson of The Wandering Sons. DL has played with large local and national acts that include The Envy Corps, Jah Roots, The Silent Years, The Gglitch, Street to Nowhere, Mad Monks and many more. If you haven't heard of us yet, you will soon!
about us!
Joe is the organized one with mad bass skills and a big ego. Ned is the one who everybody loves, he plays solos that will break your heart, plus he looks like Jesus. Josh is the one who will always make you laugh, when hes not busting out tight drum rolls, hes always up for a party. Last but not least there's Mark, he sings the lyrics that really make you think, and of course hes the cute one.
How did we get our name?
Well, there was an old man named Larry and he died. Everything in his home was left untouched for over a year. We visited his house by way of a secret passage thru a dark and dusty attic. Everything in his home was just the way he left it, shoes by the bed, burned down cigarettes resting on the ashtray, and a full and extensive liqour cabinet, where he pured his last drink. We borrowed a few things, some clothes which Mark likes to wear to our shows, a suitcase that we keep our CDs and T-shirts in to sell, and an excellent pair of Loafers. In Death, Larry inspired us, and through us his name lives on. So came the name 'Dead Larry' and it just stuck.
So hows that for a story? Rock on!
Thanks for the great show at Camp Euforia! I was expecting to see some great music, but your band completely took me by surprise. I'm glad I wandered by.
