A sold-out, disproportionately bearded crowd had to hoedown on the spot – there was certainly no room to square dance – during Canadian bluegrass innovators The Dead South's debut Adelaide show (21 March) in support of their latest release, 2024's 'Chains & Stakes'.
Their 2022 Easy Listening for Jerks LPs saw the Canadian quartet bless System of a Down, The Misfits and Cold War Kids material with folk and bluegrass infusions. Furthermore, based on the reaction to the first song, "Tiny Wooden Box", dropped from their forthcoming LP Chains & Stakes, the best is yet to come.
The crowd, somewhat surprisingly, sang along at full voice to virtually every song, with the band exuberantly belting their way through a highly polished set including tracks from across gamut of their back-catalogue, such as the opener, Diamond Ring, Black Lung and Snakeman Parts 1&2 from their Sugar & Joy LP
