The Dead C are coming to town

I would­n’t wanna put money on it or any­thing, but I’m pretty sure that the last time legendary NZ noise-rock­ers The Dead C (wiki­pe­dia) played in Wel­ling­ton was when they sup­por­ted Son­ic Youth on their Dirty tour in 1993. And to be frank, with an utterly tran­scend­ant per­form­ance in the face of much tribu­la­tion, mopped the floor with them.

Now they’re play­ing at the City Gal­lery on Sat­urday night. It’s free. What the hell else do you need to know?

City Gal­lery Wel­ling­ton is proud to present The Dead C. These noise/rock her­oes who have most recently played in the UK at Thur­ston Moore’s All Tomor­row’s Parties fest­iv­al will per­form in the Gal­lery. Sup­port from loc­al band Thought Creature. Gal­lery opens at 7. Music starts 8. Be sure to make it to this unique per­form­ance.

Here’s a (reas­on­ably fam­ous) video of The Dead C on now-defunct Fri­day-nite music show Ground Zero in 1999, play­ing Sky (off what some claim to be their greatest album, Harsh 70s Real­ity) and talk­ing about Sui­cide with the hosts:
