Siren Festival 2008

It's safe to say DeadHeat made the most of their time on and off stage at this year's Siren Fest. Hope you did too. Thanks to Diane, Neil, Shay, Yevlove and all the Siren staff for the good times.

Coney Island, Baby!

Yeah,we know, we're more "Coney Island Whitefish" than "Coney Island Baby" but we also know that's how you like it.

I posted previously about staying tuned for news about a special Brooklyn appearance of the DEADHEAT DJs, well...here it is...

Dave R., Suge White and (special guest) Danja Russ take command of the Stillwell Stage DJ duties at this year's Siren Fest. Saturday July 19, starting at noon and going all day, we'll be summoning the Kraken from the Coney surf with raw garage rock, tranced-out kraut jams, damaged electronic punk and psychedelic soul. We're in between sets of another great rock n roll line-up. Check it: http://www.villagevoice.com/specials/siren/
