THE QUICK AND THE DEAD
THE QUICK AND THE DEAD was formed in late 2005 when Rhoades D’Ablo, ( RHOADES D'ABLO &THE DEVIL'S RIGHT HAND, ROCK CITY MORGUE, MUSTANG LIGHTNING, THE BUDDY LUVCULT) and Ronia Blake (THE JACKS, HOMEWRECKER) met when D'Ablo moved to Austin after Hurricane Katrina hit his hometown of New Orleans. The pair began writing songs at MILLION DOLLAR SOUND STUDIOS. When owner, engineer, Kurtis Machler (LOS PLATOS featuring Texacala Jones) heard the songs the two had demo-ed, Machler volunteered to play bass as Blake and D'Ablo continued to write songs. Heavy hitter, Chris Blades was recruited on drums and the band started rehearsals.
News spread rapidly around Austin about a new Cow-Punk band and THE QUICK AND THE DEAD debuted at HEADHUNTERS, to a packed crowd. After more shows at RUTA MAYA, ROOM 710 , and another at HEADHUNTERS, Machler switched to second guitar. After a couple false starts with bass players, TQATD recently hit the jackpot with Greg Paul, another refugee from NOLA.
The band is a mixture of Old School Punk, Outlaw Country, and Garage Rock. If you like your rock-n-roll cocktail served with some dirt on the glass.....then it's time to ROCK LIKE FUCK, Y'ALL!!!!
Also, Ronia is featured in the 2007 SHE ROCKS calendar as Miss August. All proceeds from the calendar go to the Austin Music Foundation. Check out the She Rocks Myspace page HERE to see the whole calendar.

RHOADES D’ABLO AND THE DEVIL’S RIGHT HAND
The timeless twang of country artists as; Johnny Cash, George Jones, Steve Earle, and Buck Owens, has been fused with the raw, rock power of Sex Pistols, Iggy Pop, Gun Club, and Motorhead. The end result? RHOADES D'ABLO AND THE DEVIL'S RIGHT HAND.
Rhoades D'Ablo formed the Devil's Right Hand in May of 2004, after leaving New Orleans goth merchants; ROCK CITY MORGUE,( featuring Sean Yseult, on bass), which D'Ablo was a founding member. Rhoades D'Ablo's quest for the perfect marriage of old school country and punk rock was the foundation which the band was built. Upon relocating to Austin Tx from NOLA after Hurricane Katrina, Rhoades D’Ablo joined forces with J., Kristin, and Ric from Sabbath Crow to continue the hellish legacy of The Devil’s Right Hand.

SABBATH CROW
There is more to being a outlaw rock band than a bottle of jack and a black cowboy hat. Sabbath Crow is such a band, they defy definition and classification and do so with as much swagger and gusto as any rock rebels in any time period. Taking the the same approach as the real outlaws who came before them, Sabbath Crow makes their own music without limits or rules. While giving a nod to their inpirations, influences and heroes here and there, the band prefers to stomp its own path thru the audio spectrum, all the while retaining the true rock grit and grime and fuck you attitude that pisses people off and scares the meek back to the safety of their accepted poser rock scenes where it is warm and predictible.
Sabbath Crow frontman, singer, songwriter and guitarist J. Bybee takes the stage like a werewolf in heat and looking to kill, his scarred hands clawing at his guitar, striking unamed chords and unconventional single note runs, while leading the bands' charge thru twisted progressions and changes that laugh in the face of traditional musical dogma. Stepping to the microphone, he sneers, howls, growls and spits out decadent tales or woe, misery and murder.
Bassist, Kristin Bybee keeps the Sabbath Crow beast on a leash laying down a throbbing foundation that is unique and all her own and without comparision, driven beyond the edge of sanity yet steady as a grave digger during suicide season.
Rounding out the trio on drums, Ric Furley hits the toms like its dinner time at a Mau Mau family reunion. Shot gun blasts resonate from his snare as his whole kit rolls and churns with the boom and clank of a locomotive fighting to stay on the tracks.
At the end of the day, when all the posers are safely tucked away in bed, and only the lifers still prowl the dark underbelly of the outside world, Sabbath Crow is not the loudest, fastest, or heaviest monsters on the planet, but they are firmly rooted in that small percentage of true outlaw rock bands that do what they want without compromise.
They do not care of you like them or not, there are those who get it and those who don't.
Those that do? Well lets party, those that don't? Well...they can fuck off.
