Bloody Death Skull

Despite the ominous name, Los Angeles band Bloody Death Skull is not scary, not in the traditional sense. Swirling together electrified ukulele with toys and whatever sounds and instruments they like over the classic chord structures that launched early rock and soul, BDS makes fun music rooted in the ’50s & ’60s with a punk mentality and lyrics that sweetly break some taboos. BDS falls somewhere between performance art and a “real band,” depending on who is involved at the moment in this ever-changing, unpredictable ensemble. No show is the same. They like it that way. Backed by a band ranging from three to twelve members, Daiana Feuer sings about love, day dreams, the cosmos, animals, television, dead things, bad things, cute things, existential pickles, and being stuck in the mind of a teenager forever. Imagine The Shirelles meets Roky Erickson on a playground in outer space.
