Today’s Psychedelic Music Interlude is Interrupted by Heavy Petting

Today’s Psychedelic Music Interlude comes to us from the Athens, GA-based band Dead Confederate.

This band is not that far out there on the weirdness scale, but they are excellent musicians who create a psychedelic experience through the sheer force of their music.

We’re talking heavy guitar riffs, powerful drum rolls, and slowly building songs that peak with an overwhelming wall of sound.

The Wikipedia entry for this band describes their sound as a mix of Nirvana and My Morning Jacket, but that’s not quite right.

It’s perhaps more appropriate that one of Dead Confederate’s first MySpace friends is your Monkey’s best beloved neo-psychedelic band The Black Angels.

If My Morning Jacket had a one night stand with the Black Angels, their (courtney) love child might rightly be Dead Confederate.

Dead Confederate released an album last year called Wrecking Ball. Your Monkey suspects very strongly that they put on an excellent live show, but he has not yet had the chance to track them down.

How about another show in Boston sometime?

Here is a link to their myspace site.
