The Dead Gear

About Me


A gear, a mechanism developed in order to operate inside of a machine for the purpose that the machine was designed to fulfill. “The Dead Gear”, just the opposite, functions outside of the machine, providing color in a very black & white world. The duo, obsessed with symmetry, has found congruence between the mystery and intrigue of pre-Technicolor film-noir cinema, and the quirkiness of early black & white animation. And in exploring a “less is [much] more” philosophy (like artists of the neo plastic era of the early 1900s), has also discovered a distinct harmony between the simple purity of the blues and the raw minimalism of early punk rock. By combining these unique sounds and curious ideals, The Dead Gear will reinvigorate the primal nature of rock ‘n’ roll and perpetually advance in their musical experiments, hoping to one day enlighten the industry and rescue creativity from the machine.
The Gear Is Dead... Long Live The Dead Gear!
