yeh deadlies (the band) was conjured from dog-tired minds at the end
of a protracted game of musical chairs. They ply a meldoic, country-tinged power pop reminiscent of your Ma.
yeh deadlies are Jonny Quagmeire (vocals, guitar), Jonny Fun (vocals, bass), Jerry Bakewell (vocals, organ), Grave Deen (drums), and the Tier-Annie-saur (vocals, guitar, egg).
The band have produced two eps to date, the ghost chipper ep and
the snow joke ep. The first was released on American indie Goodnow Records and the
second on the Irish Abomination Records. They have contributed
songs to An Abominable Christmas ep which also features So Cow and Big Monster Love.
yeh deadlies have played with bands such as Ari and Uzi, So Cow,
Land Lovers and The Dudley Corporation.
The band are (con)currently working on their debut album.
