  Today our BottleRock Napa Featured Band is The Deadlies. They will be returning to play at BottleRock Napay 2015 and they blew everyone away last year with their fun in the sun kick ass set!  The Deadlies can be described as a California surf punk/rock band with a little Honky Tonk and Country thrown in.  One thing is for sure, when you listen to The Deadlies, you can’t help but move around and have some fun!
