So stoked to see Kirt Voreis and Tyler McCaul ripping through the forest trails on their bikes to The Dead Exs song “White Collar Crime” from their album Relovolution. Check this out!
Amazing story of the Rockaways before and after Hurricane Sandy. Powerful stuff.
The Dead Exs actually played for this surfing community back on October 29, 2012, 1 night before the storm. Even Simon who is reference n the video several times jammed with the band on stage. It was an amazing night. Everybody knew of the storm coming but nobody had any idea how bad it would be. Take 10 minutes and watch this film…beautifully done… elquent. We send our prayers and best wishes to the entire community of the Rockaways.

David Pattillo begins a once a month residency at Mantitoba’s.
Last night was a special night. It was the kickoff of a new monthly party called Blue Tuesdays at the historic downtown rock & roll bar Manitoba’s. Along with a bunch of The Dead Exs fans, hanging tight were über babe of Californication and Zero Hour Addison Timlin, party harder bad boy Andrew WK, and the rock stalwart himself Handsome Dick Manitoba. Pattillo played a rippin 1 1/2 hour set of Dead Exs tunes as well as some classic Jimmy Reed, Ray Charles and Lightnin’ Hopkins. Next stop The Dead Exs play MON FEB 11 at Mercury Lounge with Brothers NY and Daddy Long Legs. More shows listed here.
