Meet the Music: The Dead Girls


NEWSFLASH: Be sure to listen to 96.5 tomorrow morning, when The Dead Girls play an acoustic set on Afentra’s Big Fat Morning Buzz!
 

Fresh off of opening for KISS in Kansas City and winning The Pitch’s “Best Pop Band in Kansas City” award, The Dead Girls will be our second performers at Jayrock 5.

Nick Colby, Eric Melin, JoJo Longbottom and Cameron Hawk are reunited members from the bands Podstar and Jayrock 4 opener Ultimate Fakebook. Together they write infectious, exciting power pop.

This Lawrence foursome is fueled by killer hooks and stomping beats; inspired by past masters like Brian Wilson, Hüsker Dü, and Thin Lizzy (a Thin Lizzy tribute band is a side project) while keeping a finger on the pulse of modern rock. Though the breadth of their influences makes The Dead Girls hard to categorize, drummer Eric Melin is proud his band writes music that can “easily fit anyone.” He directed the video for their song “All is Forgotten,” an homage to '80s John Hughes teen films available on YouTube here.

They currently have two EPs out and have just pressed their new album, “Out of Earshot” with record label Rocket Heart Records. 

You can listen to some great tracks from the EP ”Te Quiero” at their MySpace here or check out some other songs after the jump!
