The Dead C

New Zealand noise rock gods Dead C made a rare U.S. appearance Sunday night at Johnny Brenda's. Guitarists Michael Morley and Bruce Russell mesmerized a packed house with crashing waves of guitar feedback while drummer Robbie Yeats somehow kept it all in time. Russell, who spent much of the performance crouched over his amp and effects box, coaxed a pulsing tempest from his rig; Morley led the proceedings, stepping to the mic for indecipherable lyrics and twiddling with a black MacBook at his feet; Yeats gave cues and took them, providing a foundation for a night of music where structure was anathema.
