SUZI – VOCALS

Suzi (AKA El Destructo) had a promising career in woman’s roller derby, however after an unfortunate fatality (not legally Suzi’s fault) she had to retire from the sport and take up her other passion, rocking out. During that time she has performed across Sydney as a solo artist, writing and recording her own original music, as well as lead singer and rhythm guitarist for various bands such as Dead on Arrival and 20 Bars. Most recently, She has performed as a guest artist for the Western Sydney Music Academy.

Suzi has been keen to share her passion for music through her guitar teaching studio that she opened in early 2023 in the inner west. She’s looking forward to becoming a Dead Set legend.

MACCA – GUITARS

At the tender age of 10 years old, Craig put down his Masters of the Universe dolls, picked up a cheap, knocked around acoustic guitar and started picking out the chords to Crimson and Clover. He hasn’t looked back since. Locking himself away in his bedroom throughout most of his high school years with a Strat copy, a 50w amp and a steady diet of Led Zeppelin, Guns N Roses and AC/DC, he emerged a bona fide teenage ‘shredder’ ready to conquer the world! A cover band here, a garage punk band there, Craig ended up in a pop-punk band called A.K.A in the late 90s that Channel V once described as ‘ philosophical punk pop at its best ‘. Over their two-and-a-half-year existence, A.K.A enjoyed the abundance of live music venues in Sydney that is sadly a faded memory today, playing gig after gig at venues like The Bat & Ball, The Hoptoun & The Northpoint Tavern. A.K.A’s reign culminated in their 2001 debut release entitled ‘The Good Life’, receiving airplay on Triple J and landing on the Foghorn Records compilation ‘Grow Your Own 6’ with their catchy single ‘Femail’. But baggy shorts and fart jokes only go so far and after a few years of mediocrity, A.K.A called it a day.

Fast forward to 2013 and Craig joined a couple of old Uni mates to form The Black T-Shirts. Enter one Phil Remington on Bass! ‘The Tees’, as they were affectionately known, enjoyed many solid gigs, highlighted by a support slot with Oz rock stalwarts Front End Loader. Sadly, The Tees broke up in 2016 during the recording of their debut full length release but still managed to get it out a year later on Spotify! Craig and Phil then hit the reset button, moving forward as The Dead Set. And the rest, as they say… is history!

BRAD – DRUMS

Brad joined the band in 2020 after a lengthy period of ritual hazing. Alongside skin-smacking duties for The Dead Set, he also outperforms Lars Ulrich in Australia’s premier Metallica tribute act, Damage Inc, and gets his heavy on in Mechanical Embrace. We’re happy to have him onboard to ensure our rhythm section is as tight as a duck’s butt!

PHIL – BASS

Phil plays bass. Not much else is known about him.
