Oliwa is producer/DJ Oliver Newell.  After wandering out of the LA psych-rock music scene to the idyllic mountain village of Ojai, he found himself exploring his own genre of deep house music, gently approaching the techno pathocracy from a nurturing place of love and earnest creativity. Endowed with a rich musical performance and composition background, a fascination with the future, and the earthen sensibility of the California coast and its denizens, Oliwa’s unique world of electronic music explores subtle and fantastical landscapes as he weaves together meditative textures with complex rhythms from an array of influences.  Twangy and skanky, funky and spacious, elaborate and deep; he strives to inspire dance floors through transcendent epiphanies and emotional release.

Dead Larry’s powerful blend of high energy rock, dance and funk shakes the foundation of modern music. From rock driven sea shanties to pulsating dance beats. From Beatle-esque harmonies to spine chilling screams. From shake-yo-booty funk jams to orchestral themes of space and time travel. Dead Larry is one thing: Original. The band was formed in a basement in high school, and after nearly 10 years of writing, touring, and chasing the dream Dead Larry has a grown to be one of the most prominent independent rock bands coming out of the Midwest. 

"An all too short set by psychedelic funk pop band, Dead Larry, from Iowa City, Iowa, was all I needed to realize where the great music truly was. Lead singer/rhythm guitarist Mark McGuiness screamed his lyrics with rock 'n' roll conviction to the raw and dark simplicity of the musical compromise that is the rest of the band. Each member worked their musical niche to create something greater than themselves that is Dead Larry." - Travis Beck (The Daily Nebraskan) on Dead Larry's set during 10,000 Lakes Festival 2008.
