Dixie Deathwish has been around for a long time (2004) its seen its members come and go just like most bands with every member change came a sound change untill late 2009 when one of our biggest fans came to play bass for us (Cobbie Palmer ) cobbie had been following the band for almost a year when the decision came to let the old bass player (D) go , Cobbie was asked to join up , soon Cobbie and Keith found out they had the same taste in riffs but they both had different styles to them that made for some unique sounding new songs , so DDW played a bunch of shows for a year before Cobbie left the band due to personal reasons in Oct 2010 ,DDW pressed on for about a month before letting drummer Josh Barnes go in favor of bringing on the most talented Billy Roof to play Drums ,DDW started to practice regularly for too months with Billy to make sure they were tight while at the same time looking for a replacement for Cobbie ,they played there first show back in jan 2011 during January they had been talking with Cobbie and the decision was made that cobbie would come back , so here we are now our music speaks for itself if you've seen us live you probably love our music its heavy melodic groovy and most of all original screw being generic ,our music makes you move makes you feel once again what real musicianship is we are Dixie Deathwish

3 Quarters Dead was formed back in 1999 with original members Kenny Wyatt and Mark Alexander. After they returned from a tour with Mushroomhead, they began recording their second full length CD with Steve Felton (Skinny) of Mushroomhead. The vocalist at that time was Waylon Reavis who was recruited by Mushroomhead to take the place of J-Mann (aka Jason Popson) who had announced his departure from the band. After starting all over, they finally found a vocalist that suited their style of music. Jason Sain started with the band in late 2007. In 2008 they recorded “Between Angels & Demons” with producer Jamie King of ‘Between The Buried & Me’, ‘The Human Abstract’ fame. In late 2009 they signed with indie label ‘Project Alpha Music’ and released their latest effort “Once Upon This Broken Glass” in March, 2010.
The lead single, “The Unknown” is off of their new CD “Once Upon This Broken Glass. It about loves someone who doesn’t love you back. This song has many melodic sections to it. But when you hear the change ups which are dynamic, it sets a tone of a story being told through 3 degrees of separation. These three levels are clearly defined and portrayed beautifully by the talents of these individuals.
As the entire CD will demonstrate, 3 Quarters Dead have developed into a focused talent with undeniable audience appeal. These band members are learning every day about each other’s personality, their individual talents and ultimately a combined talent. Each contributes their skill, technique and history with every note they play. Their sound is unique showing their audience their ability to tell a story the way a story should be told.
3 Quarters Dead has toured with bands such as Avenged Sevenfold, Mushroomhead and Dope. They played shows with Shinedown, Stuck Mojo, Switched, Nothingface, Chimaira, Gwar, Shadows Fall and many others. Their video for their single “The Unknown” was launched on MTV and Fuse and placed on Fuse On Demand and on various websites such as clever.com, revolver, spiketv and others. They also get regular airplay on 106.5 The End in Charlotte, North Carolina and 100.3 The Buzz in Greensboro, North Carolina, both being a Clearchannel Broadcasting station. They are currently doing local shows. There is a possibility that they may have a show with FasterPussycat which is still in the works.
