OlD DeAd BuG -Jam @The Barn in Campbell,Ca. 2
Old Dead Bug is:
High-energy, Jive-a-Delic bone-shaking rock and roll. Powered by breath-taking lyrics, mind-searing leads and sophisticated arrangements, Old Dead Bug is unafraid to ride the envelop or lick the razor's edge. Alternative Jam music for those who like to backflip while they twirl!
Powered by Geoff Nixon's breath-taking lyrics, searing jams and sophisticated arrangements, Old Dead Bug ranges from funky bone-shaking grooves to explosive frenzies of jive-a-delic abandon. Based in the underbelly of Campbell CA, Old Dead Bug was one of the first bands of the emerging California Jam-Band scene. A combination of music and theatrical events that melded the best of the psychedelic scene with underground punk and alternative influences, Old Dead Bug's sound brought both the tattooed and the tie-dyed, hippies and punks together to celebrate the alternative ideas and lifestyles of all - and, yes, they all got along just fine!

ABOUT THE BAND -
Old Dead Bug was born in San Jose, California from a group of old friends who combined their talents in theater, poetry and music into a band dedicated to creating its own unique sound and vision. Formed in 1992, Old Dead Bug is a core band in the San Jose-based Vibe Tribe culture that became legendary for their live extravaganzas featuring theatrical productions with costumes, special effects and blistering musical meltdowns.
Fueled by the release of their debut CD "Monkeys By Nature," fans of Old Dead Bug are on every continent. Old Dead Bug has also had the honor of being included as one of "North America's 125 hottest live bands" in 'JamBands', Dean Budnick's chronicle of the rise of the 1990s improvisational rock music scene.
With a growing repertoire of original music, Old Dead Bug eagerly looks forward to playing to an ever-widening audience, making new friends and carving new grooves into the airwaves of a new millenium as we spread the Bug Love to eager Earth Monkeys everywhere!
