The Dead C, hailing from Dunedin, New Zealand, is an avant-garde noise rock trio, revered for their highly experimental approach to music and unorthodox sound structures. Formed in 1986 by Bruce Russell, Michael Morley, and Robbie Yeats, the band has carved out a unique niche within the underground music scene, blending elements of rock, free improvisation, and noise with a lo-fi aesthetic. Their music is characterized by an often droning and chaotic soundscape punctuated with moments of haunting melody and spoken word, effectively defying conventional musical norms and transcending easy categorization.

Renowned for their fiercely independent ethos and prolific output, The Dead C has released a bevy of recordings that continue to challenge and inspire listeners. Amongst their most recent works are "Unknowns" and "Rare Ravers," releases that embody the band's continual evolution and dedication to the craft of sound exploration. Their formidable discography, including titles such as "Trouble," "Secret Earth," and "The White House," reflects a career spent defying trends and commercial expectations. As a consistent presence in the realm of experimental music, The Dead C remains a pillar for those who appreciate the unconventional, their influence echoing across the spheres of noise, drone, and beyond.
