Chris Ross - Jim Dead Publicity Shot

It has come to my attention that Chris Ross has done some collaborative work with Australian musician Jim Dead, aka James Misbrener, along with Myles Heskett and a bunch of other musicians to form the backing band “The Army of Shadows”.

Chris Ross has provided vocals on the self-titled album, and Myles provides drums. The album itself had it’s celebratory launch on December 3rd at St Petersburg Warehouse Studios in Sydney
There isn’t much more information about the collaboration available at this point until I get my hands on the album.

However, on the myspace page, there is a blog post that goes into detail of each Army of Shadows Bio, this is what it has to say about Chris Ross:

Jim met Chris Ross ten years ago through Myles Heskett, when Myles and Chris shared a house in Surry Hills in Sydney’s inner-East. A talented singer, bass player and an amazing keyboardist, Chris and Jim Dead have also spent a lot of time making music together, writing and recording around 10 songs over the last couple of years.

Chris has become one of contemporary rock’s much-loved keyboardists, much due to his work in Wolfmother, of which he was also a founding member. Along with bandmate Myles Heskett he has moved on to other ‘prog rock’/psychedelic music projects, including Palace of Fire and more recently, The Slew.
