Devilish slide guitars, howling distorted vocals and blues riffs out the wazoo define New York based duo and ex Deli Artist of the Month The Dead Exs (in the picture), comprised of David Pattillo (vocals/guitar) and Wylie Wirth (drums). Together, they have exhumed the sultriness of retro-rock with garage rock intensity on their album “Resurrection”, available now and for free here. Rock ‘n roll- inspired and NY music-devoted fashionista/designer, John Varvatos, will be presenting this pair of musicians at his store on Bowery on Thursday, December 1 as part of the John Varvatos Thursday Nite Live series, along with harmonica-heavy, rootsy, and bluesy Daddy Long Legs. There are free beverages for the 21+ only crowd and free admission with an RSVP to jv_pr3@vfc.com. Doors are 8pm and music starts at 8:30. –Meijin Bruttomesso
