Dining Dead is a Seattle-based music project consisting of Seattle natives Emma Hayes (guitar) and Sammy Skidmore (vocals, guitar) with Bogie Pieper (drums) and Shannon Hargis (bass), hailing from Monterey, CA and Nashville, TN respectively. Dining Dead is a blend of West Coast style and the American South, combining moody, melancholy twang and soul-baring songwriting with edgy, lyric heavy, surf rock-inspired licks to create their unique Pacific Northwest-inspired sound.
Dining Dead released its debut album, Medium Rare, in February of 2021 preceded by four singles and a five-song EP, Takeout. “This Seattle band’s debut full-length album is a promising set ranging from moody, folk-tinged rock reminiscent of Mazzy Star to crunchy, hook-filled indie rock,” says Don Yates, Music Director at KEXP.
