From 🦜Tuca and Bertie to 🐴Bojack Horseman, inspirations for 🤘Dead Pets Unleashed are all about deep themes handled with maturity AND humor!

Follow Gordy (that’s me) and my offbeat band Dead Pets as we take on stardom (we hope) and life in our 30’s.

Yeah sure, I love short walks on the 🏖️beach and hate conformity. Who doesn't?

I'm getting roasted in this highlight reel but it's not all that bad. 🤷♀️

Dead Pets is MY punk rock band, and 2026 is our year!
