SATURDAY: Dead Fame EP Release Party

by | Feb 23, 2012 | MUSIC

At the cusp of the New Year, one thing was certain–critics and fans alike were prepared to declare Dead Fame as one of the new Richmond bands to watch. With tunes like “Turning” and “We Can Run,” it’s easy to see why this type of excitement began to grow immediately. On Saturday, they will be celebrating the release of their debut release, the extended-player entitled Frontiers.

Come watch Dead Fame do what they do best, as they let the music do the talking and let the light show guide the dancing.
