Death of a Party

Formed in the summer of 2003, the Death of a Party began in the Oakland house party scene and quickly earned a loyal band of followers. With a dark, often dancey, post-punk sound and a manic live show, the Death of a Party has put their own stamp on the musical landscape. The band is fronted by Gareth Lloyd, whose commanding stage presense and propensity for diving into the audience highlights their live show. Adam Beck teases with sparse guitar lines, Alex Restrepo gets the audience moving with melodic bass grooves while Patrick Lynch wails away on the drums.
