"I'll Cut You Down" Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats | CME Full Band Fridays

Woodstock may have represented a pinnacle moment for the music of the 1960s; but, for some guitar-playing hippies, the “Summer of Love” was followed by a Fall of Doom, during which time music with an eerie sense of foreboding was borne out of the gloomy, ominous atmosphere—a feeling that bands like Black Sabbath expressed through their music, using heavily distorted guitars, extreme volume levels, sludgy tempos, minor key compositions, tri-tone scales, and a shift to darker visual and lyrical imagery—inspiring fans who’ve fallen for heavy music over more than 50 years, ever since!

We’ve all gotten a little too much sun this summer season, already, here in Chicago—so, this Full Band Friday, the CME House Band plunged into the darkness of the CME video dungeon with a song by a band that carries on the legacy of Doom! Check out the CME House Band’s cover of Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats’ song “I’ll Cut You Down.”

More about Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats!
The band's music is heavily influenced by the late 1960s when heavy metal was emerging. Allmusic praised the band's ability to recreate a particular aspect of this era, describing the band as "celebrating the Summer of Love's soul-chilling autumn: a blasted landscape, post-flower power, resembling Altamont's killing fields, reeking of the Manson Family murders, and, naturally, sounding like a mish-mash of all of the apocalyptic musical forces that converged upon that era."
The band has been described as "the original Alice Cooper band jamming in a cell with early Black Sabbath and the Stooges". In order to replicate the sound of that era, the band uses vintage instruments and recording equipment. The band’s name was taken from Rusty Day, the singer of Cactus, who later had a band called Uncle Acid And The Permanent Damage Band. Uncle Acid was originally the otherwise-anonymous frontman, although he has since changed his stage name to K.R. Starrs and now views the band members collectively as being "Uncle Acid".
