Glasswerk presents Dead Pioneers
+ Yakkie
Live at Rebellion Manchester
27th February 2026
Dead Pioneers emerged as a dynamic extension of vocalist Gregg Deal's performance art,seamlessly blending music with critical cultural commentary. Rooted in the same themes ofidentity and resistance that define his visual work, the band’s sound acts as a powerful platformfor addressing the complexities of Indigenous experience. Deal harnesses the raw energy ofpunk and alternative influences to challenge prevailing narratives, using lyrics that provokethought and evoke emotion. Just as his performance art confronts the legacies of colonizationand systemic marginalization, Dead Pioneers - completed by Josh Rivera and Abe Brennan onguitars, bassist Lee Tesche (Algiers) and drummer Shane Zweygardt - engages audiences in avisceral dialogue about survival, resilience, and reclamation of voice. This musical endeavor notonly amplifies his artistic vision but also creates a space for collective expression and solidarity,inviting listeners to reflect on the intersections of culture, history, and identity in a contemporarycontext. Through Dead Pioneers, Deal continues to assert that art, in all its forms, can be apowerful vehicle for activism and change.
