History Dead Meadow met in the DC indie scene, though their music draws from more hard rock/retro-based sources (Neo-Psychedelia). The band formed in the fall of 1998 from the ashes of local bands The Impossible Five and Colour, when singer-guitarist Jason Simon, bassist Steve Kille, and drummer Mark Laughlin set out to fuse their love of early 70's hard rock and 60’s psychedelia with their love of writers J.R.R. Tolkien and H.P. Lovecraft. Like many other bands in the "2000's retro metal movement" (compromising hard rock, heavy metal, psychedelic and folk/blues), Dead Meadow has gained notable popularity in a short time.

Dead Meadow released their eight-song debut in 2000 on Fugazi bassist Joe Lally's Tolotta Records, and a joint vinyl release on D.C. indie label Planaria Records. In 2001 the band released its second album, Howls From The Hills, on Tolotta. Where the first self-titled album was recorded in their practice space for a couple hundred dollars and plenty of learning curves, Howls From The Hills was born in a barn in Liberty, Indiana. By that time, their sound ecompassed everything from ambient guitar drones to blues-folk ballads to distorted space-rock, to southern slow boogie. Fugazi may refer to: an Italian slang term for something that is fake/not authentic. ...

In early 2002, original drummer Mark Laughlin reluctantly quit the group, replaced by old friend and previous collaborator Stephen McCarty (whose grandfather's farmhouse is where the band recorded Howls From the Hills). In mid-2002 the band found an unlikely patron in The Brian Jonestown Massacre's Anton Newcombe, who recorded, produced and printed Dead Meadow's live disc Got Live if You Want It on his "the Committee to Keep Music Evil" imprint of the legendary Bomp! Records. Soon after, they recorded a Peel Session at the Fugazi practice space - the first time the BBC recorded a Peel Session outside their own studios.

Shortly after signing with Matador in 2003, Dead Meadow self-produced Shivering King And Others in the basement studio of the DC Pirate House over five months and during a busy schedule of touring. Along with the heavy rockers and bluesy numbers as on the previous two records, the band went deeper into the psychedelic realm, with chiming acoustic touches and ballads.

In February of 2005, the band released its second Matador record with new guitarist and long time friend, Cory Shane -- "Feathers." Feathers came out to mostly favorable reviews and was considered to be somewhat more accessible than the previous records. NME Magazine placed "Feathers" in its Top 50 albums worldwide of 2005. However, Shane left due to his discomfort of touring
