Deadbolt "Shrunken Head" 1993

Gruesome Voodoobilly lunacy from the self-proclaimed Scariest Band In The World... Sooooo Scary!!!
"Only the person who does my laundry knows how much terror this CD strikes in me. Ever since I heard "Hank Watson Stalks the Earth" I've had nightmares of being tortured by rabid poodles. After listening to "Down in the Lab", I developed a twitch in my right eye and started walking with a limp (that was four years ago). If there is a god, then why is Deadbolt allowed to torment me? This music gives me the heebie-jeebies. I used to be a productive member of society, but after listening to Deadbolt I had to quit my job as a stockbroker and find part-time work at a mortuary.
I think the members of Deadbolt are bad people- someone should spank them." Reviewer: Chad Bagley "Chad" (Shanghai China/Provo, UT)
Deadbolt:
Harley Davidson (vocals, guitar, organ), R.A. Maclean (vocals, bass), Les Vegas (drums). Additional personnel: Jeff Forrest (organ), Mark Davidson (percussion). Recorded at Doubletime Studios, Santee, California.

Now you're talkin"!

When I saw them one of the band members was playing a circular saw--or was it a circular sander? Probably the latter--because there were lots of sparks!

Cutting discs are their hobby, as is barrier tape around the stage with the inscription: Crime Scene Do not cross! Here is a video:

My friend Billy K was locked in their tour van for a night and released the next day with the words: "It was a joke!" I don't want to fall into their hands....

Its true. I spent a night in Tucson drinking with them. Harley menaced me all night while breathing an unknown substance from a mask (Dennis Hopper style). I woke up locked in their tour van. I'm not allowed to speak of the rest.
