Dead Confederate is currently compiling live material from shows recorded in 2008/2009 for digital and possible limited edition vinyl release that will include rarely performed covers as well as the band’s original material.
Hailing from Athens, Georgia, Dead Confederate’s music is best described as intense, lumbering, southern, psychedelic grizzly rock. They burst onto the scene with their self titled EP soon followed by an opening spot for R.E.M. at SXSW in early 2008. Later that year, they released their debut full length album, WRECKING BALL, to innumerable raves from tastemakers and press alike. Rolling Stone selected Dead Confederate as a “Band to Watch” and they made their U.S. television debut on NBC’s “Late Night With Conan O’Brien” with their first single “The Rat.”
