Dead Vicious

Dead Vicious are a four-piece oldschool political Punk Rock band formed in February 2002 by Ken Vicious, Bill Wood, Justin Hooper and Rimu Tahuaroa. Singing songs about politics, greed, corporate welfare, materialism, social struggle, pirates and love while sounding like “Johnny Rotten meets Woodie Guthrie at the Ramones house” their noisy DIY electric folk music is very much grounded in an oldschool Anarcho-Punk ethos. Along with the new take on an oldschool sound Dead Vicious have also made a signature gig finale of smashing up a television. As Ken puts it: “I hate television and have never owned one, apart from the 30-odd I’ve smashed at gigs, most of which were defunct and kindly donated by friends. I see TV as an instrument of ruling class propaganda and corporate advertising, doing to the mind what McDonalds does to the body. Putting an axe through the screen is deeply satisfying and I would encourage kids to try this at home.”
