Much Too Much

Birthday show for Dead Flowers very own Mr. Lee

"Where has all the punk rock gone? Well, if you’re seeking more than the typical mutual admiration society jerk-off that has become punk these days, look no further. Brooklyn’s Moral Panic don’t adhere to stylistic cues, don’t pander to their audience, and they don’t care what you think of them. What they do is play with lightning speed, balance 'tight' and 'loose' like the best of any Killed By Death band, and do it better than your friend’s boring hardcore outfit that played five times in the past month. What do they sound like? Cleveland’s Pagans at 45. There’s no posturing, no begging you to think they’re cool, no BS." -The Big Takeover

Featuring both ex- and current members of the The Templars, 45 Adapters and many others, Lvger play tough street-rock'n'roll (think Motörhead meets the punkier side of NWOBHM).

Slip Kids is a powerhouse tribute to The Who featuring members of The Brought Low, Bad Wizard, and Hopewell.  

The High Stride, featuring folks you know from other boss NYC-area bands, play no bullshit maximum R&

Right On Time

After three long years...

It's the triumphant return of The Brought Low!

The Brought Low are a hard rock power trio from New York City who formed in 1999. They released their self-titled debut record on Tee Pee Records in 2001. In 2006 they released their long awaited sophomore effort, Right On Time on Small Stone Records (Dixie Witch, Sasquatch, 5 Hose Johnson). The record was hailed as an instant classic by The Boston Phoenix, Lollipop, Roadburn and Stonerrock.com among others. Third Record, their last album for Small Stone, was produced by Andrew Schneider (Pelican, Cave In, Scissorfight). The band is known for its live show and has shared the stage with Them Crooked Vultures, Supersuckers and Nebula among others and has performed at the Emissions From The Monolith and South By Southwest music festivals.

Let's Fuck Shit Up!

Our dear friend Gregory Collins (Radio 4/Livids/Moral Panic) was in a bad recently, wrecking his ankle up something fierce. It looks as though surgery is in the cards, and he won't be able to work behind a bar, or play drums, for a quite while. Next Friday there's a benefit DJ party for him at Montana's Trail House with DJs Danny 2 Times, Jenny The Knife and Mr. Lee spinning hot wax. A cut of the bar goes towards our boy's medical expenses.
