The EverDead are a death rock/horror punk band formed in the spring of 2000, in the city of Grand Rapids, Michigan. The band was originally founded by guitarist Mr. Mysterious and vocalist Adam Dravean, although they quickly recruited Robert Baron on drums and Sam Straker on bass (both Robert and Sam had played with Adam in their previous band, "Decension") The band was formed mostly to attack the local music scene (which they felt was over saturated with pop punk, Christian hardcore, and nu metal bands), and also to spite the Conservative Christian populated city of Grand Rapids.
Early in their carer, The EverDead seemed more focused on instigating violence and making enemies in the local scene, than they did on their music, which consisted of an odd mixture of heavy metal and Misfits inspired horror punk. They soon achieved the status of one of the more banned and hated bands in Grand Rapids. The unorthodox nature of the band resulted in a constantly shifting lineup of musicians. Adam Dravean, and The Baron (who later switched over to bass playing duties) were the only constants.
By 2001, the band's second demo recording, entitled "One Bloody Night..." had gained popularity in the budding online horror punk community. The EverDead, who had made it their goal to create animosity and offend everyone, were surprised to find themselves gaining fans. The band began to focus more on their music, and with the addition of keyboardist, Michael Mortis, their music took more of turn towards goth/death rock, similar to the mid-'80s incarnation of The Damned. With the release of the "Slumber Party Massacre EP" on Halloween of 2002, The EverDead joined bands such as Cancerslug, Blitzkid, and Mister Monster at the forefront of the modern wave of horror punk.
Not long after releasing the "Slumber Party Massacre II" CD in August of 2003, The EverDead went on a year long hiatus. In late 2004, The EverDead got back together, and in 2005 they began working on their long postponed full length CD, entitled "Zombies, Werewolves, & Demons".
Sam Straker (AKA Sam Bones) and Robert Baron have been The EverDead's most prolific song writers, and almost all of the bands lyrics are the work of Adam Dravean. The EverDead have cited their main influences to be Glenn Danzig's three bands: The Misfits, Samhain, and Danzig, as well as The Damned, and The Dwarves. Other, lesser influences, include Balzac, Type O Negative, AFI, and Strung Out.
Artist Rob Villareal of Ravenous Media has created most of The EverDead's artwork. Ravenous Media is also responsible for much of the art of Cancerslug, a band The EverDead are friends with.

Term in Popular Culture, originating in the Simpsons in the EpisodeThe Last Temptation of Homer (see Moe's Tavern where an anonymous bar patron runs from the bar after Moe ridicules his name), the name (unabbreviated it is Joey Joe Joe Jnr Shabadoo) has evolved into a pop culture term of reference, such as John Galt, Nemo or John Smith, to give a name an imaginary person or character who is otherwise anonymous. There are thousands of examples, from exam questions featuring Joey Shabadoo as the protagonist in a hypothetical scenario, to anonymous posting on the internet. It is also generally regarded as the worst pseudonym one can adopt, stemming from its original use in the simpsons.
