WEEDEATER was originally formed by front-man/bassist “Dixie” Dave Collins on bass / vocals, Dave “Shep” Shepherd on guitar / vocals and Keith “Keko” Kirkum on drums. Following the release of their 2001 debut ‘…And Justice For Y’All’, WEEDEATER immediately established themselves as a force in the U.S. tour circuit and quickly gained  notoriety in the American metal scene. In the time since, the band have released three critically-acclaimed albums: ‘Sixteen Tons’ (2002), ‘God Luck And Good Speed’ (2007), and ‘Jason… The Dragon’ (2011), and toured around the world with the likes of DOWN, SAINT VITUS, HIGH ON FIRE, THE MELVINS, HANK III, EARTH, SUNN O))), CLUTCH and countless others.

The band has played prestigious festivals such as Maryland Deathfest, Hopscotch Festival, Stoned From The Underground, Asymmetry Festival, Roadburn Festival, Hellfest, and many more.
