THE DEAD SOUTH SHARE NEW VIDEO FOR “FAT LITTLE KILLER BOY”

These JUNO nominees will perform on CBC q Live at the JUNOs and the 2020 JUNO Awards broadcast.

There aren’t many bluegrass songs with pierogies and cabbage rolls on the menu, but there aren’t many bluegrass bands like The Dead South. This string band from the Canadian prairies, currently on a world tour that includes sold out stops in over 20 countries, is known for – and is comfortable with – their left field approach to the genre.A fan favourite, “Fat Little Killer Boy,” is the lyrical origin for the title of their most recent album Sugar & Joy. A cartoonishly dark cautionary tale peppered with funny and disturbing details, the song taps into a long lineage of ‘bad endings for bad apples’ stories with its own highly original and socially relevant twist. In a new video, animated by Edmonton’s Rantdog Animation Studios, “Fat Little Killer Boy” now gets an even darker backstory in a truly chilling recipe for disaster.Watch the new video here.
