The Hiss, The Crackle, The Boom

WE ARE DEAD OCEAN.
Our brand new EP
Hear it in it’s entirety at myspace.com/draculatron.

The Listening/release party on Friday was a tremendous success! The TRAMONTANE was filled to over capacity, and the band absolutely. positively. 100%-ly blew the fucking roof off the building.

The Setlist:

We Are Dead Ocean
Whitesheetsred
Glass Kingdoms
Margaret
Billion Dollar Crush
Muscle
Invisible Sister
Malibu
Like Snow/ The Uncanny Valley
Black Roar

The old songs have been given a brand new life thanks to the live arrangements and the new songs all rock even harder! The majority of that is thanks to my new partners in crime, Erica and Brian, Guitar and Bass respectively, who have worked their asses off to help take the DRACULATRON sound light years beyond what it has ever been. I am so excited for this era of the band.

Currently working on booking shows for the upcoming weeks.

Here comes a tidal wave.

Less than two weeks… tick tick tick – It’s amazing how quickly the last year flew by. We’re almost coming up on the 1 year anniversary of “The Uncanny Valley” and here I am again, about to release a brand new EP which is easily my best recorded work to date. Thrilled doesn’t even begin to describe how I feel about this brand new year/phase/era of DRACULATRON and what it may bring.

Fittingly it feels quite like the tide rolling in.

And this time it’s dragging back out to sea my amazing new band! Miss Erica Zalatan, who has been my co-conspirator for the last several months, has officially climbed aboard as guitarist extraordinary! Her screams and shreds are probably gonna peel your face off so stand far far far away. Can’t fucking wait. Joining me on live bass is the disgustingly talented Brian Premo – who can rip a whole room apart with his apocalyptic boom. And finally, yours truly will be playing synths live as well as triggering our drummer (aka my mac).

All this + video + the ever wonderful dancers!

The EP is a night away from being finished and the artwork is settled.

tick tick tick….two weeks….I’m horribly stubborn.
