Deadeye Dick was a trio from New Orleans, Louisiana, specializing in alternative rock, established in 1991. The group featured Caleb Guillotte as the vocalist and guitarist, Mark Adam Miller on bass, and Billy Landry handling drums. Their name was inspired by a novel written by Kurt Vonnegut. They cultivated a loyal fan base throughout the Southeastern United States by touring extensively and independently producing their debut album prior to securing a record deal. Their track "New Age Girl" received notable radio play in cities like New Orleans and Atlanta, which led to signing with the independent label Ichiban Records.

In 1994, Ichiban Records released their first album titled A Different Story. The song "New Age Girl" was included on the soundtrack of Dumb and Dumber, which helped it reach number 27 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in March 1995. Their follow-up album, Whirl (1995), did not achieve similar commercial success, and the band ultimately parted ways.

After disbandment

Caleb Guillotte (born March 13, 1963), who served as the lead guitarist and primary songwriter for the band, has since shifted his career focus to New Orleans' film sector, specializing in Art and Set Decoration.

Both Guillotte and former bassist Mark Miller continue to be involved in music production within the local scene. Guillotte remains active as a performer in the area, collaborating with artists including Miller, Susan Cowsill, Vicki Peterson from the Bangles, and Paul Sanchez (previously of Cowboy Mouth).
