Bass Drum Of Death, DZ Deathrays, and Head On Electric at Cactus Club
Hailing from Oxford, Mississippi, Bass Drum Of Death has a closer connection to its home, Fat Possum, than most of the young and scuzzy rockers the label picks up these days—namely that founding member John Barrett was once in its employ. Barrett’s career trajectory has mirrored that of Fat Possum’s, with early Bass Drum Of Death recordings rooted in the one-man blues band sound the label championed in its infancy. Its tastes have widened, as have Barrett’s, now working with a full-time drummer and shooting singularly swinging surf-rock and garage-punk through tin-can-phone production on 2011’s GB City.
