Dead Schembechlers – Lou Brutus

DEAD SCHEMBECHLERS: SOLD OUT

It’s been long rumored that LB is eyeball deep in the legendary Ohio State football-fueled punk rock band Dead Schembechlers. The group has made a career out of savagely attacking the Michigan Wolverines in favor of THE Ohio State Buckeyes. They’ve appeared on HBO, ESPN, ABC-TV and in newspapers around the world including The New York Times, Detroit Free Press, The Sydney Herald, Detroit News, Columbus Dispatch, The London Times, and USA Today.

The band has announced it’s first ever coloring book entitled “Scarlet Submarine.” It tells the story of a pigskin paradise called Buckeyeland overrun by Maize and Blue Weenies led by Coach Hairball. A creature called The O-Where Man escapes the catastrophe in the Scarlet Submarine and enlists the band to reclaim his homeland. The story was written and conceived by lead singer Bo Biafra with graphic blandishment by Alan MacBain. It is now available through the band’s website here.

The group has also announced its Hate Michigan Rally. It will be held in Columbus, OH Friday, November 25 at Ace of Cups, 2619 North High Street. Special guest will be Bava Choco. Show time will be 8pm. Further information is available at DeadSchembechlers.com and AceOfCups.com.

UPDATE: The Hate Michigan Rally is now completely SOLD OUT. The band has added an unprecedented second show. The Michigan Massacre Morning Matinee will star the band at 9AM Saturday November 26th. Tickets on sale here.

Recent band press includes Cleveland.com, The Columbus Dispatch, Maize and Go Blue, Pure Grain Audio, and The Bakersfield Californian. Additional press from Joel Oliphint at Columbus Alive, Pat Forde at Yahoo Sports, Dan Wetzel at Yahoo Sports, Scout.com, and Andy Downing at Columbus Alive.

DEAD SCHEMBECHLERS RETURN

Is that guy singing Lou Brutus or not? The question was posed again by football fans and sports media from coast to coast as legedary Ohio State Buckeyes-loving, University of Michigan-hating punk quartet, Dead Schembechlers, returned to the concert stage after a four year absence.

The concert, at hallowed punk rock venue Ace of Cups on High Street in Columbus OH, was sold out nearly a week ahead of time. The band tore thru a ninety minute set, mixing classics like “Bomb Ann Arbor Now” with new material such as “Brady Hoke is A Big Fat Fuck.”

Check out the band on NBC here. An interview by Nuber on Columbus rock station The Blitz with singer Bo Biafra is here. An article in the Detroit Free Press on Lou, errr, we mean Bo’s bounty for Bucks players to feed Michigan coach Brady Hoke donuts onfield is here.

DEAD SCHEMBECHLERS BRING THE HATE

Lou Brutus once again took on the persona of Michigan Wolverine loathing, Ohio State Buckeyes loving rock star Bo Biafra, front man for the notorious Dead Schembechlers.

The group headlined their somewhat annual Hate Michigan Rally at Skully’s Music Diner on High Street in Columbus, OH on Friday November 26th, the night before the rivalry game between the two schools. A sellout crowd of 600+ insane Buckeyes turned out.

Check out these recent articles on the the group in the Detroit Free Press, Columbus Dispatch, Associated Press, The Other Paper, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Cincinatti Enquirer, Pat Forde of ESPN, Columbus Alive and a new one in the Detroit Free Press. See the band’s Bomb Ann Arbor Now video here.

LB is also continuing writing the unauthorized autobiography of the band, Dead Schembechlers: The Rise, Fall & Redemption of the Best Damn Punk Band in the Land. It will delve into Bo Biafra’s life, the history of the group and the true story of The International Wolverine Conspiracy. It will be filled with sex, drugs, rock n roll, violence, insanity and pigskin.
