Hailing from Central Texas, Dead Horse Creek is a punk/metal outfit heavily inspired by Spaghetti Western films. The music is a series of concept albums chronicling the legend of The Bloody Higgins Boys, an outlaw gang in the late 19th century. Their stories include prison breaks, train robberies, gunfights, and encounters with the supernatural. The live show has been known to cause quite the raucous with band members staying true to character throughout the show and a supporting cast of saloon girls and ne'er-do-wells driving audience interaction.

THE BALLAD OF WOLFE BURTON is the novelization of the debut album of hardened western outfit, DEAD HORSE CREEK, written by Ian Ellis. Follow the Bloody Higgins Boys as they are chased by a zealous Texas Ranger named Solomon Creed in this EXPLOSIVE western thriller.
In March of 2018 our very own Ian Ellis (Bug LeBeaux), amateur author and hard-hitting drummer for our outfit, decided to take on the monumental task of turning our concept album, 1876: The Ballad of Wolfe Burton, into a full fledged novel. Nine months, 65,000 words, and 37 chapters later the book was finished. As much as we'd love for y'all to read it right now, it needs professional editing first. Funds raised here will go towards: editing services, commissioning artwork, and printing fees.
