   About The Dead Americans


- -



The Dead Americans are a touring five-piece rock n' roll powerhouse based out of Eugene, Oregon. Featuring dual lead male/female vocals, they've developed their own X meets the Dandy Warhols/ Jefferson Airplane meets Nirvana alt. rock/post punk style, with a twinge of country, funk, and blues. They've been described as a "Traveling Greek Festival of Music", as they keep the show going on and off the stage. A true party on wheels, and a breath of life into the music scene that needs to have more fun. Join them in the fight for musical freedom as they roll from town to town with their fun-loving, anarchistic spirit and undeniably bad-ass rock sound!!!
