The Dead Waits are a two piece rock band hailing from Co. Donegal, consisting of brothers Jason and Stephen McCloskey. This guitar and drums duo started at the end of 2009, after a long period playing with various musicians and bands. For the McCloskey brothers these ensembles helped harden and hone their own music, even after those groups imploded leaving the pair feeling like leftovers(which is where the band name came from). Many influences come to mind as to what drives these two noisy siblings but they still come up with a unique sound all their own. With the release of their debut album “Get Gone”, The Dead Waits conjure not only rock stylings but also blues, folk and psychedelia with an even sprinkle of weird for good measure.Tumblr (3.0; @thedeadwaits)http://thedeadwaits.tumblr.com/<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/9dc10f5f575bfaeb837f0a13863911a8/tumblr_mmnfvhZIJv1spqrjoo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://thedeadwaits.tumblr.com/post/50249677938http://thedeadwaits.tumblr.com/post/50249677938Sun, 12 May 2013 12:09:37 +0100<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/02b5251fb86001b79a64899c2808bca7/tumblr_mmcoloUVw91qibudpo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://thedeadwaits.tumblr.com/post/49766977325http://thedeadwaits.tumblr.com/post/49766977325Mon, 06 May 2013 12:03:49 +0100<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/c709cdcc85cf70b8b3fc3ae75258e3e9/tumblr_mmczf1m4051qlqv5ro1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://thedeadwaits.tumblr.com/post/49766885214http://thedeadwaits.tumblr.com/post/49766885214Mon, 06 May 2013 12:01:15 +0100<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/2610897a595614a0cd8301713dc15482/tumblr_mmaifbX2KU1s72u2ho1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://burnshiver.tumblr.com/post/49617847359/patti-smith-advice-to-young-artists-william" class="tumblr_blog">burnshiver</a>:</p> <blockquote><div>Patti Smith advice to young artists:  William Burroughs told me, “Build a good name.  Keep your name clean.  Don’t make compromises.  Don’t worry about making a bunch of money or being successful.  Be concerned with doing good work.  And make the right choices and protect your work.  And if you can build a good name, eventually that name will be its own currency.</div></blockquote> <p></p>http://thedeadwaits.tumblr.com/post/49687608006http://thedeadwaits.tumblr.com/post/49687608006Sun, 05 May 2013 15:38:09 +0100<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/bc1d512773e256bf4b5ae3cd7f16422a/tumblr_mm4zhge82y1rrva5lo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://thedeadwaits.tumblr.com/post/49383899609http://thedeadwaits.tumblr.com/post/49383899609Wed, 01 May 2013 22:05:48 +0100<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/e62a59db02c5d9f1a7ebf09a385a4ed4/tumblr_mlk1a33kG11s7m5ipo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://awakeinme.tumblr.com/post/48433565672/cachondos-mentales" class="tumblr_blog">awakeinme</a>:</p> <blockquote><p>CACHONDOS MENTALES!</p></blockquote>http://thedeadwaits.tumblr.com/post/48519819631http://thedeadwaits.tumblr.com/post/48519819631Sun, 21 Apr 2013 13:52:50 +0100<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/6804e53ca9e1419583a1298416be442a/tumblr_mlf740tI791rttf5po1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>My new “Baller” shoes arrived today kids</p>http://thedeadwaits.tumblr.com/post/48228367395http://thedeadwaits.tumblr.com/post/48228367395Wed, 17 Apr 2013 23:14:24 +0100<a href="http://thedeadwaits.bandcamp.com/">4 FREE SONGS FROM THE DEAD WAITS ALBUM "GET GONE" !!!</a>http://thedeadwaits.tumblr.com/post/44725414896http://thedeadwaits.tumblr.com/post/44725414896Wed, 06 Mar 2013 20:27:01 +0000the dead waitsget gonefree tunesrock n rollmusicalternativefolkBlues<a href="http://www.swdcrradio.com/">Check out John Joe's show every sunday from 3 to 5 he may play some songs from "The Dead Waits"</a>http://thedeadwaits.tumblr.com/post/44469889062http://thedeadwaits.tumblr.com/post/44469889062Sun, 03 Mar 2013 18:16:36 +0000swdcrthe dead waits<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/9f305049fe64e2cc8364c79ee31efa21/tumblr_mhykfe4bST1rttf5po1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>How to travel to Cienfuegos</p>http://thedeadwaits.tumblr.com/post/42666084824http://thedeadwaits.tumblr.com/post/42666084824Sat, 09 Feb 2013 15:02:02 +0000<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/634ec0e5d53a7f165ed7050c74a27587/tumblr_mgdww2yGSq1rttf5po1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>@&?!
