Who Are Dead Posey?

Dead Posey are an American rock band formed in Los Angeles by vocalist Danyell Souza and multi-instrumentalist/producer Tony Fagenson. With influences ranging from goth, punk, and ’80s synth pop to ’90s alternative rock, their music combines heavy riffs, moody atmospherics, raw vocal power, and catchy, anthemic choruses.

Their debut full album, Are You In A Cult?, was released in October 2024, expanding on themes of rebellion, self-identity, questioning power structures, and confronting the darker impulses in society. They’ve built a reputation not only through their recorded work but by playing high-profile festivals, landing placements in film and television, and cultivating a loyal fanbase drawn to their unflinching honesty.

What to Expect on 15 October 2025 at Thekla

Sound & Atmosphere: Expect a set that balances hard-rock intensity with gothic and electronic textures. Songs like “Welcome to the Nightmare” showcase Dead Posey’s willingness to mix aggressive riffs with haunting atmospherics.

Themes & Message: Their lyrics are unafraid to tackle weighty topics — from cults (literal and metaphorical) and societal conformity to oppression and empowerment. The band challenges listeners to reflect even while rocking out.

Performance: Dead Posey’s live shows are known for energy and raw connection. Expect powerful vocals, dynamic instrumentation, and an electric presence on stage. With The Cruel Knives opening, the night promises a full throttle of alternative rock energy.

Why This Gig’s Worth Your Attention

Bristol’s Thekla is a venue unlike any other — a converted boat moored on the harbour, famous for its intimate yet atmospheric live shows. Dead Posey’s mix of dark aesthetics, punchy melodies, and rock grit feels tailor-made for this unique space.

Coming almost a year after the release of Are You In A Cult?, this show is a chance for UK fans to experience the band’s new material live and in full force. For listeners who’ve followed their rise through early EPs, festival appearances, and media buzz, this gig will be an opportunity to see Dead Posey at their most confident and commanding.
