Shift Promotions proudly presentsDead Pioneers
with support from P.E.S.T and Zero Index
"Dead Pioneers bring a raw, unapologetic collision of punk energy, spoken word, and powerful storytelling. Fronted by Indigenous artist Gregg Deal (Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe), the band uses music as a platform to challenge narratives, confront history, and amplify conversations around identity, resilience, and resistance.
Born from Deal’s performance art project The Punk Pan-Indian Romantic Comedy, Dead Pioneers grew into a full-force punk band built on urgency, honesty, and community. With driving guitars, explosive live energy, and lyrics that refuse to shy away from difficult conversations, their sound blends the spirit of punk with a First Peoples perspective.
Expect a set that is more than just music — it’s a visceral experience rooted in art, activism, and the belief that punk has always been a place for voices that need to be heard."
P.E.S.T. is a hardcore punk side-project led by Pearl Jam bassist Jeff Ament. Stream their EPs directly on the Pearl Jam Music Directory or follow their latest updates and release news via PearlJamOnline.it. [1, 2, 3]
The band is rooted in Ament’s Montana connections and features a raw, aggressive sound reminiscent of late-80s skate punk.
