Artist Biography by Timothy Monger
Fusing a gritty punk ethos with traditional bluegrass and old-time
string band music, Canadian ensemble the Dead South emerged out of
Saskatchewan's prairie-bordered capital city, Regina. After debuting in
2013 with the five-song The Ocean Went Mad and We Were to Blame EP, the
band recorded its first full-length, Good Company, which was picked up
in 2014 by German indie Devil Duck Records, who brought the Dead South
on a number of overseas tours during the next couple of years. For its
follow-up, 2016's Illusion & Doubt, the band worked with Regina
producer Jason Plumb and signed with Toronto label Curve Music. It was a
breakthrough release for the Dead South, reaching the Top Five on
Billboard's bluegrass chart and raising their profile significantly.
Showing their crossover versatility, they collaborated with Canadian
hip-hop artist Rich Kidd on an updated version of the 2014 song "In Hell
I'll Be in Good Company," which was released in the summer of 2017.

Biografía del artista por Timothy Monger
El conjunto canadiense The Dead South surgió de la capital de
Saskatchewan, Regina, una ciudad rodeada de praderas, fusionando un
espíritu punk arenoso con el bluegrass tradicional y la música de bandas
de cuerdas de los viejos tiempos. Después de debutar en 2013 con The
Ocean Went Mad y We Were to Blame EP, la banda grabó su primer disco
completo, Good Company, que fue recogido en 2014 por el indie alemán
Devil Duck Records, que llevó al Dead South en varias giras al
extranjero durante los próximos dos años. Para su seguimiento, Illusion
& Doubt de 2016, la banda trabajó con el productor de Regina Jason
Plumb y firmó con el sello de Toronto Curve Music. Fue un gran avance
para el Dead South, alcanzando los cinco primeros puestos en la lista de
bluegrass de Billboard y elevando su perfil de manera significativa.
Mostrando su versatilidad crossover, colaboraron con el artista de
hip-hop canadiense Rich Kidd en una versión actualizada de la canción
"In Hell I'll Be in Good Company" de 2014, que fue lanzada en el verano
de 2017.
