The Deadmans Danceband was formed by members of the Cymmer Rouge to perpetuate the ethos of the Grateful Dead. Huw Brys, an early acquaintance of The Dead, has provided artwork and other support.

The music of The Deadmans Danceband was originally based entirely on the intuitive improvisation of the Grateful Dead. In recent years the ‘interactive riffing’ has developed through more experimental forms. To that end the Danceband has been supported by the use of studios owned by the The Huw Brys Foundation
