DEAD ANYWAY are Kate Arnold (lyrics/vocals) and Marc Symonds (beats/instruments).
Both are from Gloucestershire UK
"I'm hearing quite a bit of poetry set to beats at the moment and no-one is doing it better than D.A. They've been quietly releasing absolutely banging EPs & LPs over the past few years, each one better than the last. Kate's poetry is angry, funny, clever and occasionally heartbreaking. With a keen ear and turn of phrase, she holds a mirror up to today's world in all its sickness and absurdity while Marc's musical experiments are endlessly surprising, beats and hooks that brilliantly underpin and never detract from Kate's words".
"Dead Anyway make meaty loops driven techy and guitar splattered art pop that has a kind of Big Black meets Poison Girls feel, albeit on a moonlit night in a misty glade somewhere in the Forest Of Dean. If Dry Cleaning were from the wrong (right) side of the tracks...Can only be a good thing".

We can't wait for this one!
The Guildhall holds a special place in the hearts of all of our live band. Our bass player, Simon was responsible for one of the venues most iconic series of gigs under the moniker of 'The Banana Club' back in the early 90s, Marc and Kate have played the venue in various bands over the years and have supported such greats as Radiohead & Girls Against Boys and our keyboard wizard, Nicky met her husband there.
It will be our very great pleasure to introduce the wonderful Irrational Library to our home town. We had the thrill of playing with the 'Irrationals' back in Feb of this year when they invited us to play in their home town of Haarlem & Amsterdam in the beautiful Netherlands. This band kicks arse like the proverbial mule, you really cannot afford to miss them!
