This is a 21+ event w/ valid ID at Soda Bar - San Diego. Dead Tooth initially began as a collaboration between Ellis and DIIV guitarist Andrew Bailey when both worked at the same diner in Brooklyn NY. The project soon built into a four-piece that released the EPs Still Beats (2018, Five Kill Records) and Pig Pile (2022, Trash Casual) earning acclaim from NME, Spin, New Noise and more. The latest iteration of the band has had an uptick in urgency and, dare we say, fun? Touring vigorously the past year, across the eastern U.S. multiple times, as well as their first foray into Europe and the UK, their reputation for high-powered, celebratory shows makes them the artist of choice for a slew of shared bills few others could fit on. From supporting theatrical thrash metal legends GWAR, sharing a fashion show afterparty with rap veteran Juellz Santana, to garage punks Bass Drum Of Death, Dead Tooth have answered the call and are now here to deliver their first full length record.  Dead Tooth was tracked in multiple studios across NYC’s outer boroughs in sessions stretching from 2022-2024, with Ellis handling vocals & rhythm guitar, Taylor Mitchell on lead guitar, John Stanesco on EWI & saxophone, James Duncan on bass and Ginno Tacsiat on drums. The eleven songs arrive as a cohesive set, thanks in part to the deft touch of mixing engineer Tom Beaujour (Nada Surf, Juliana Hatfield). With effects and overdubs at a minimum, Dead Tooth exudes a rawness that brings the sweat and clamor of a packed Brooklyn basement into the privacy of your very own speakers. Presented by Soda.
