The Dead South for three sold out shows to the Netherlands and Belgium

24-03-2019

Try not to step on the chalk outlines when navigating through prairie pickers The Dead South's catalogue. Over the course of two full-length albums, it's true that the villainous, murderous match-strikers and revenge-takers outnumber those with good intentions, but in the end, no heinous act goes unpunished.

The Dead South, a gold rush vibing four-piece acoustic bluegrass set from Saskatchewan, infuse the genre's traditional trappings with an air of frontier recklessness, whiskey breakfasts and grizzled tin-pan showmanship. The sound, build on a taut configuration of cello, mandolin, banjo and guitar, speeds like a train past polite definitions of bluegrass into the grittier, rowdier spaces of the traditional world. While The Dead South’s signature blend of bluegrass and classic folk is familiar, it’s also eminently fresh; fueled by the kind of energy and ethic you’d associate with a punk band. “A lot of our inspiration comes from an old school feel, but our sound is an amalgamation of the we all like, and the punk influence is definitely there,” says vocalist/guitarist Nate Hilts.

At the end of the month The Dead South will be playing three shows in The Netherlands and Belgium with Matthew Logan Vasquez as support. All shows are long SOLD OUT!

27/03: Amsterdam (NL) - Melkweg Max - SOLD OUT
28/03: Eindhoven (NL) - Effenaar - SOLD OUT
31/03: Sint Niklaas (BE) - Casino - SOLD OUT
