Hailing from the totally stony streets of Eugene, Oregon, The Dead Americans are a five-piece rock n’ roll powerhouse with hella rad musicians and a mega-hot chick singer that can kick your ass. They’ve got more flavor than Fruit-Stripe gum as they produce tunes that range from straight-ahead rock to funk, to prog, to punk, to country. They’ve been compared to the Dandy Warhols, X, and Jefferson Airplane, to name a few. Your mom would compare them to God. They’ve played shows throughout the western United States, from San Diego to Seattle, with great acts such as Shiny Toy Guns, The Start, Rayzing Sons (L.A.), The Trucks, Thee Emergency and Hell’s Belles (Seattle). Their second album, "Devolution" is in the works. They like long walks on the beach, sushi, hot tubs, and complete adoration. Call ’em for a date sometime. Holla!!
listen up yah pudgy little pischers! there ain't no teet pinchin' thats gone happen to me er anybody that look like me, yah got that?!!?!....... no pecker pinchin' neither
Eleven Eyes is opening for Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey this Wednesday night at the WOW Hall in Eugene (all ages) for a night of funk, jazz, and danceable grooves. We should start around 9:30 pm or so, so make sure to come early! Jacob Fred has a new cd they're promoting, so stick around for some new material from them.
Sorry the turnout left a little to be desired. We had droves of drunken friends who swore they would be there and then never showed, but I guess thats how the ol cookie crumbles. Either way we all had a great time, and you guys rocked it!
hey. good show. by far the best band there! I hope too see many more shows soon! most places around Eugene no matter the age limit i can get in now. i know people :) so let me know where the gig is and me and my little Dead Americans t-shirt will show up.
