DEAD AIR Videos

Dead Air: The Final Broadcast of the Zombie Apocalypse  is an original new full length radio play presenting the last words of mankind.  The constant pollution and destruction of our natural world has given way to the dead rising from the grave to feast on the flesh and brains of the living.  DEAD AIR is an inspired new production, and I thought I'd come on here and give you an idea of where and how Dead Air came to be:

The Original Broadcast from Orson Welles' "War of the Worlds"



John Trudell, is an American Indian activist, poet, actor and songwriter.  The following clip is from the documentary "Trudell" in which John explains the connection to the land.





One of my absolute favorite Grateful Dead traditional ballads, "Walk Me Out in the Morning Dew"---a folk song concerning the apocalypse and end of days.  Here is a video of the Dead performing the ballad in March 1986 at the Spectrum in Philadelphia




Another rocking and rolling version of the song by British folkie Tim Rose



And of course, because DEAD AIR is a throwback, or homage I suppose to the classic days of radio, this sketch with a gigantic sweaty Orson Welles and a spry Dean-o Martin should give you an idea of the madness that awaits you in our live performances---minus the abundance of sweat
