About Me


Beginning in a condemned house near a liquor store in Toowong, as most bands do, 8000 DEAD started it's life as a stoner rock something or other band by the name of 'Alleyway Drugshaker'. That was then...
Fast forward a couple of years and 8000 DEAD has one EP under its' belt and a fistful of live shows spanning venues across Brisbane, including memorable gigs at The Living Room, The Alleybar, The Columbian and The Rev.
A Hard-Hitting Stoner Rock Band with Metal and Fossil-Rock leaning? Maybe not so much anymore. Post release KRAKEN the band has tried to realign it's musical focus, for a more energetic, ass kicking unified vision.
New songs are currently being written in preparation for new recording...
The new face of 8000 DEAD, the official pace car of the apocalypse is metal.
We'll be putting new songs up and demo songs as soon as we have them!
