MGA Signs Dirtcore band Graveyard BBQ



 Graveyard BBQ Flag
The seed of fire was born in the Summer of 2003 by four friends who shared the same common vision of getting together to krank up, jam out, and have some fun. For something that started out as a hoaxy-jokesy side-project band with little to no expectations, it certainly has gelled into a well oiled and defined machine which is reinventing the wheels of today‘s music and bringin' the balls, originality, and fun back to Rock 'n' Roll. The self proclaimed “Revolators” say that they headed down South to make a deal with the Devil at the Crossroads in return for its insatiably potent sound dubbed as “DIRTCORE”, a unique style which defines Delta Country Blues, penetrated by Monstrous Guitar Riffs, Red Hot Slippery Slide Guitar, Thunderous Bass and Drums, Soulful yet Sinister/Howlin’/Moonshine/Grit-Gravel Vocals, fronted by a Anthematic Attitude that boasts the classic (and sometimes raunchier) elements of Rock 'n' Roll!

The band’s lineup consists not only of its core members; Brownbag Johnson (Slinger/Vox), Bud Black (Thunder), Whitey Trasher (Skins), and Howlin’ Jack Boone (Barker/Lead Vox), but also incorporates THE BBQ Girlz- devilish female singer/dancers, and lots of crowd participation from its diehard following and livelyhood... The almighty, BBQ Nation! Anyone who has seen Graveyard BBQ live knows that it’s an event not to be missed. Their stage prescence, high energy performance, and over the top antics seduces the audience leaving their jaws dropped, faces melted, horns raised, fists pumpin', minds erased, necks sore, and wanting more. In 2005, they released their debut self-produced record “Greatest Hits Volume 1” which included original members, Frontman- Rev. Brixx and Skinsman- Peterbilt Wilson. Shortly after, the band got its first big break by winning the "Be A Guitar Hero" National Contest which immortalized and features their song "Cheat on the Church" on the soundtrack of the hit Playstation 2 video game, Guitar Hero. In 2007, they released the follow up to their debut appropriately titled, “Greatest Hits Volume II” which brought in new blood and fire to the mix with the addition of new Lead Singer Howlin' Jack and drummer Billy Z. Bubb, and included such classics as, "The Clothes That Makes The Man", "Ride The Stache", "By The Grace of the Grill", and their self embodied version of AC/DC's "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" The record displays a brilliantly well crafted and honed in sound that makes you believe that the band really did sell their souls to the Devil at the Crossroads!

Greatest Hits 2 Promotional PhotoAfter the departure of Billy Z. Bubb, the band recruited the final missing piece to its monstrous synergy, drummer Whitey Trasher. In 2008, they toured the U.S extensively, and filmed music videos for their songs, "The Clothes That Makes The Man" and "BBQ Nation" with legendary videographer, Ian Barret (Alice in Chains, Down, Sevendust, Godsmack) They were chosen to headline the annual Boston Freedom Rally Hempfest, which they BBQ'd for over 25,000 people, and won the MassCann/NORML "Best Music Act" of the Year Award. Already in 2009 alone... Graveyard BBQ did yet another highly successful independant U.S Tour in March which wrapped up at the South By Southwest Music Festival in Austin, TX where the band won the High Times Magazine "Best New/Underground Artist" Doobie Award of 2009.

Ultimately, Graveyard BBQ offers something for everyone while supplying substance, conviction, originality and most importantly fun, something very much absent in today's music world. Graveyard BBQ has certainly made quite a name for itself, building its buzz from a rapidly growing worldwide cult following, and creating a sound to last for time and beyond, as fans will agree. At the end of the day, Graveyard BBQ proudly vows to carry on the torch of the legends who have paved the way before them, and to show the world that the true spirit of Rock 'n’ Roll is alive and well. The band plans to embark on more full throttle touring and world conquering, as their carnivorous hunger and demonic possession permits them to remain relentless until they reach the top! A BBQ Nation awaits us all, only one god, Grill, Indivisible! All hail the BBQ Nation! "IF YOU AIN'T WITH US, YER AGAINST US"
