Deadman

Deadman refers to three bands. 1) deadman formed in Nagoya at the end of 2000 out of remnants of Lamiel and kein, two closely-knit bands at the forefront of the Nagoya visual kei scene. Mako (vocals), aie (guitar), and yukino (bass), all formerly of kein teamed with Toki (ex.Lamiel) for the original lineup. Soon after their first CD release, yukino left to start his own band, and soon after Takamasa joined as their new bass player. not until 2005 did the lineup change again, when Takamasa left and Kazuya joined, completing the final incarnation of the band. Their music is influenced by various sources, blending Japanese and western styles. They have often been compared to Merry go round (well-known in the mid-90's Nagoya scene) and generally to the western grunge style of the early 90's deadman ended their activities as a band in mid-2006. It is unknown whether or not they will work together as deadman again. 2) Steven and Sherilyn Collins, the Texas pair otherwise known as Deadman formed in 2001. www.myspace.com/deadman 3) A duo from Northern Ireland.
