Local heavy rock band the Dead Army was howling at the Slice for an intimate audience,” Saturday, May 21.

Gretsch weilding guitarist/ frontman Rob Morrison was hidden in the shadows on the side of the stage powering his trio through a set of eardrum bleedlingly loud set of original , detuned modern alternative rock .

 It was straight out of the ’90s and ’00s along the lines of  Buck Cherry and Queens of the Stone Age for the more stoner rock  inspired songs.

They had a bone crunching bass sound and lots of wah- wah soaked guitar riffs and solos.

Gabe Thaine was dressed a rodeo clown for the show, but I missed his opening set.
