Turn Me On Dead Man meld mind-altering psych and mind-numbing heaviness into a musical cocktail of extreme rock that combines everything that kicks ass and leaves out anything that doesn’t. The band’s live shows are spectacles of feedback-drenched aural decadence and over-the-top showmanship and imagery, a fitting accompaniment to their mountainous sonic approach.

The group have been creating their unique brand of lysergic-soaked rock since their inception in 2000, gigging extensively throughout the San Francisco bay area and garnering praise from all over their home turf and the country, spurred on by heavy rotation at the influential WFMU station in New Jersey. Alternative Tentacles founder Jello Biafra was suitably impressed by the band’s spaced-out, glammed-up, turned-up brand of audio mayhem enough to release “God Bless the Electric Freak” on his seminal imprint, a deal that the band eagerly accepted.

Turn Me On Dead Man has performed throughout the Bay Area including such venues as The Pound SF, The Hotel Utah, The Red Devil Lounge, The Hemlock Tavern and The Mission Creek Music Festival. The band is currently receiving heavy rotation on WFMU 91.1fm, NYC. Turn Me On Dead Man has been featured in the West Coast Edition of Performer Magazine, SF Weekly, and the San Francisco Bay Guardian.
