Konrad Lenz and the Spirits of the Dead

About Me

The Spirits of the Dead are based in Melbourne, Sydney and Canberra and have performed at the Australian National Folk Festival, the Schmooze Festival, the National Multicultural Fringe Festival, the Majura Festival and other events. They lead a high octane, hedonistic rock & roll lifestyle. The Spirits take no prisoners and plan to grow their already large band into a monstrous rock & roll army.
