Turn Me on Dead Man is a psychedelic/heavy metal band from San Francisco, California formed in 2000. They are influenced by bands such as Led Zeppelin, Cream and Black Sabbath. Similar to other such as Wolfmother, The Sword, and Witchcraft, Turn Me on Dead Man has toured both California and the East Coast extensively, releasing two popular albums since their debut.
[edit] History
Formed in the Bay Area in 2000 by frontman/drummer and principal songwriter Mykill Ziggy, the band quickly became popular among the San Francisco area's metal scene. Known for the extremely loud concerts and incredible jams, they were discovered by ex-rocker Jello Biafra and signed to the Alternative Tentacles label. Upon being signed, the release of their debut album, God Bless the Electric Freak came soon after in 2005.
