Dead Aces

About Me

Hailing from TROY, NY, the DEAD ACES got their start back in the Troy high days in John Lee's basement. The DEAD ACES couldn't play much of anything (even covers), but immediately clicked, sharing the same love of rock and roll, being a public nuisance, making a lot of noise and disturbing the peace in general. Eventually, John moved out and the DEAD ACES were left without a place to practice, thus forcing them all to go their own ways, and take up other hobbies, for the mean time. Fast forward years later: John and Scotty, now living only blocks from each other in Albany and working together at FEDEX GROUND, decided to start playing again. They began the search for the right drummer. After many leads had fallen through, they managed to track down Downey, the man behind the kit from their time in John's basement. The trio immediately reformed, BACK IN TROY, where it all started, where DEAD ACES continue to reside, loiter, and disturb the peace.Since their first show in Feb 2008, The DEAD ACES have played across the New York and New England areas, playing shows in Boston, CT, and Long Island, as well as many shows in Gloversville, and their native Albany Punk scene. The DEAD ACES have made many friends along the way in this first year on the circuit, and the momentum only continues to grow.
