combining the energy of Reverend Horton Heat with
the hooks of the White Stripes."
- Monday Magazine

like being in a John Waters film."
- State of Mind Zine

"More fun than a midnight drag race fueled by a fifth of bourbon!"
- Exclaim Magazine

"With one foot in Memphis and the other on 42nd Street
... this is high octane stuff!"

guitar licks by the mason jar-full!"

REVEREND DEAD EYE

www.myspace.com/reverenddeadeye

The Reverend Deadeye is the Reverend’s son of a Reverend’s son. He spent his youth handlin’ snakes and performin’ at tent revivals alongside his Pentecostal family on the Navajo reservation in Arizona. This sacred musical heritage finds its way prominently into his performances. But don’t expect a Sunday mornin’ church service; instead, expect a Saturday night baptism with fire holy rollin’ revival. With his modified wok-lid resonator guitar, homemade beer can microphone, kick drum, and washtub snare, he delivers a punk-rock version of gritty pre-war delta blues which he blends with fiery gospel interpretations capable of turnin’ the whole room into a spirit filled bar room revival.
