Dead Pioneers - Bad Indian 7" (black vinyl)

Dead Pioneers vocalist, nationally known Indigenous artist of the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe, Gregg Deal, started this project as an extension to a performance piece titled "The Punk Pan-Indian Romantic Comedy".

With the intent to create original music for this performance piece, the Dead Pioneers was born!  The Dead Pioneers first single Bad Indian was born! Heavily influenced by Gregg's Indigenous voice, this gave enough information to begin forming songs and the overall sound of Dead Pioneers.  Dead Pioneers is rooted in creating and performing a sound heavily influenced by the punk aesthetic with an edge built on a First Peoples perspective and not afraid to tackle hard political and social issues, standing in solidarity of Indigenous rights, Black rights, Brown rights, Asian rights, Gay rights, Trans rights, Workers rights and beyond.

From original songs to spoken word with punk riffs, Dead Pioneers was created with a love of music, a love of art, love of a scene that saves lives as well as the DIY disposition of just figuring it out and seeing what happens.
