Dead Meadow November 15, 2006

Dead Meadow, a trio from Washington, DC, formed in the fall of 1998. Formed in Athens, GA, in 1999 by singer Curtis Brown and drummer Scott Nutt, Bad Wizard boasts a high-energy hard rock sound combining AC/DC's bombast and MC5's manic hyper-activity, with traces of Southern rock. Where the band's recorded sound is layered with many melodies, their live sound is a more intense experience which replaces the intricacies of the recordings with a more visceral wall of noise.
