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 Pentacostal 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. Featuring his long time collaborator, the enigmatic time-keeper and shuffle-inducer Brother Al on drums, the duo deliver greasy gospel interpretations and gritty trance blues with a garage sensibility, capable of turnin’ the whole joint into a spirit filled bar room revival.

The Shady Greys are a lo-fi, dirty blues duo based in Amsterdam. Marcus’ loud, rough guitar riffs and raw vocals combined with Catherine’s hypnotic and primal rhythm work never fail to drop the jaws of their audience.

Using only a wooden box, a guitar and their voices, they often improvise and use no set list to give each show its own vibe. The live experience is full of energetic presence throughout the whole set.

After the release of their first self-titled demo in fall 2012 they played extensively all over the Netherlands and beyond with shows in Belgium, France and Germany.

Notable clubs they played are Paradiso, Patronaat , Winston Kingdom, OT301, Poppodium Romein, Podium Asteriks, as well as appearances on Red Light Radio. They played support shows for DEWOLFF, MAC DEMARCO, THE FLYING EYES, GIRL BAND, COLD PUMAS, THE END MEN and more. They played 14 shows in this year’s POPRONDE Nederland (the largest touring Festival in the Netherlands).
