Dead Confederate Welcomes Many Guests @ Music Hall of Williamsburg Show

Our friend Will McCranie caught a very special Dead Confederate show last night at the Music Hall of Williamsburg and has filed this report…

Menacing as ever and wasting no time to dive into a set that raised the hairs on the back of your neck from note one last night, it was obvious that Dead Confederate are on the rise and out to take no prisoners.

The Tuesday night crowd at Music Hall of Williamsburg got what they paid for and then some. The Athens-based quintet ripped through a set of tunes balanced between their brand new album Sugar and their debut LP, Wrecking Ball. They’ve built a well deserved reputation as putting on one of the best live shows of any band on the touring circuit, but they outdid themselves for this Brooklyn gathering.

About five songs in we were greeted with “You’re joining us on a journey of shit and we don’t know how it’s gonna happen”, from lead vocalist Hardy Morris, leading into a Sugar-heavy segment of what could’ve been an impromptu benefit show considering the laundry list of guests to follow.

Sugar collaborator Ben Wigard kicked things off with a full horn section in tow – 10 people on stage…wow – on Run From The Gun. Wigard was quickly followed by two members of Alberta Cross joining on Giving It All Away and none other than DJ Logic on Mob Scene and By Design, further proving this is not a band to be pigeonholed. As if things couldn’t get any better, Georgia luminary Kevn Kinney was invited out for a monstrous encore of Rockin’ In the Free World > This Land Is Your Land (jam) > Rockin’ In the Free World with DJ Logic returning to the stage to round out the festivities.

Word to the wise: Dead Confederate is a band not to be missed.
