After a 5 MONTH(!) hiatus Dead Empty has returned with 2 new members in tow. Following the departure of Ben(Bass)and Dave(Drums), the search was on for new personnel. We are finding that it was well worth the wait as new members Kristen and Matt have exceeded all expectations, filling out the vacancy nicely in the rhythm section. Ben Empty and "Dirty Dave" Glass quit for personal reasons...But anyways, come out and see the new lineup April 5th at FROSTY'S SALOON on Bustleton Ave in Northeast Philly with the HUDSON FALCONS. Check out the shows page for details as more gigs are soon to be added to the schedule!!
Do you like DEAD EMPTY? How about THE BOILS? Maybe OXYMORON and THE FORGOTTEN will get your attention!? All 4 of these bands made up the Cyclone Records "Pure Punk Tour". Pictures are coming soon!!!
The official tour website!
Evan Morey, lead singer/guitarist from DEAD EMPTY has made his acting debuet! Playing a small role in the independent film "Filthy Americans" Evan stretches his acting muscles for the first time. To be released by "We Have Your Daughters Productions", look for this independent release around Christmas!
DEAD EMPTY's latest studio raid could not have gone better! Recording 6 new songs, and having plans to release 5 of them on...well...we'll let you know when things are solid with the label in question. The remaining song will most likely be released via compilation and/or a new single after the Pure Punk Tour. The recording was originally planned to coincide with a split CD DEAD EMPTY was appearing on with Terminus City. Due, to circumstances beyond everyone's control, the split was scrapped.
An interview with DEAD EMPTY has just been published in the world's sexiest lifestyles mag, VARLA. (Notice: it's not just sexy because of OUR appearance, some of the most beautiful women on the planet are featured inside). Varla is a must-read magazine, and definitely caters to the punk rock/rockabilly crowd. Check out upcoming interviews in HIT LIST as well!
How do you measure punk rock success? Yeah...I don't know either, but to have a picture disk is pretty damn cool. The Bin Records from Laguna Niguel, CA will be repressing the Dead Empty "Blame Luck Blame Fate" CD EP on 10" picture disk format. The record will be hand-numbered out of 1000 and will come with a color Dead Empty sticker that will only be available with the 10". The artwork is finished and it should go to press soon. Look for a very late 2000 or early 2001 release date.
Being our first time out, this tour was a complete success. We got the chance to meet dozens of new and cool people, had the opportunity to see lots of great other bands, and thanks to the kindness of people we met along the way we were able to return home having only lost about $150.00. That sounds like a punk rock victory to me. To everyone who helped us book the tour, to everyone who gave us a roof to sleep under, and to all the others we met who made tour the great time it was...thank you. Special thanks should go out to Jeff Corey, faithful roadie. He didn't get paid a thing, but he helped us keep everything together. Look for us back on the road in July 2001 on the Pure Punk Tour.
Ok, this post has been up for a VERY long time with very few of these compilations being released. I will leave this list up just for the hell of it, but read on and find out how things stand at this date... |
