Band info for Thurs July 27

THE DICKS – The 1980s punk band was infamous for their
provoking song “Hate The Police” (the song that got
their Central Park show shutdown); Mudhoney later
covered it. Politically charged, smart lyrics and
outsider attitudes brought this Austin punk band into
national prominence with the insurgence of the
hardcore scene. They toured with bands like Bad
Brains, Black Flag, Zero Boys and Flipper. Their
local scene included Big Boys and MDC. The band
reunited in the last couple years, playing shows in
their hometown of Austin TX and in singer Gary Floyd’s
town of San Francisco. You can read their official
bio, and here classics like Hate The Police, Kill From
The Heart and Fake Bands and some live tracks at their
myspace page as well as a fan page

THE MARKED MEN – Denton TX’s Marked Men are making
their NYC debut. They have done very successful tours
of The Mid West, West Coast and Europe, but this is
their first visit to New York. Their new record is
out now on Swami Records. Tight, infectious, fast
pop-punk. A fantastic live band!

CARBONAS are one of the first touring bands that Dot
Dash booked in NYC; the punk band came to the city for
their first shows with their fellow Atlanta buddies,
Black Lips, back in 2002. They play fast, catchy punk
rocknroll.

PISSED JEANS – Lots of people took notice of this
Pennsylvania noise-punk band when Sub Pop signed them.
Like their pals, Clockcleaner, these guys take their
cues from the disturbed 80s sounds of Flipper,
Killdozer and Scratch Acid. This is their Dot Dash
debut and we are proud to have them!

LIVE FAST DIE – NYC punk rock via Littleton, NH – the
hometown of GG Allin. Fun, funny, ridiculous and
catchy songs like “Passing Out in Front of the
Children”, “Fat Guy With An Ipod” and “Snuff Movie”.
The band played a successful US tour this spring to
promote their debut record “Bandana Thrash Record” on
Dead Beat Records.

Band info Friday 7/28:

THE ALARM CLOCKS – This Cleveland Ohio band recorded
one of THEE classic 60s garage punk songs way back in
1966 – “No Reason To Complain” (covered by countless
bands including Lyres and Little Killers). This
underground gem, recorded while these guys were in
high school, was brought to wider attention when it
was included on the influential “Back From The Grave”
Vol 1 compilation of 60s punk, teenage, primitive
rockers. A big influence on any primitive band,
Cramps, Gories, etc, The Alarm Clocks only really
played a few shows back in their hometown.
MIRACULOUSLY, the band was resurrected this past year
for a show in Cleveland OH with The Boxtops and The
Choir; they also played this past May and the Soul,
RocknRoll, Blues Fest, Ponderosa Stomp. What is MORE
miraculous is they sounded just as raw, just as punk,
just as Kinks, Stones, Seeds influenced as back in
1966!!!! And, to top it off, they have been writing
many new songs that have that same real-rocknroll
attitude,. The new tracks are so good, that the
supreme rocknroll label, Norton Records, plans to
release a full length of new material this Fall. All
reports are this will be THEE rocknroll band event in
NYC this Summer!!! Dot Dash is very proud to host
their very first NYC show!!!

THE CYNICS – Pittsburgh, PA’s finest 60s psych-garage
rocknrollers return to NYC for the first gig since
2004’s CMJ Music Marathon and Little Steven’s
Underground Garage Festival on Randall’s Island. They
started in the mid-80s neo-garage rocknroll scene and
have been playing killer high-energy shows ever since.
Fuzzed out guitars, swinging 60s beat-influenced
rocknroll!!!

THE ORIGINAL SINS – Eastern PA’s psychedelic-garage
rocknroll band started with Brother JT (Birdman, Drag
City) in the mid-80s. Influences include 60s
psych-punkers like Love, Seeds, Stooges, mixed with
some lush pop sike of The Beatles and The Who. JT is
a great song writer, and this is the band where it all
started. This is a rare reunion gig for the band!

THE HENTCHMEN – Detroit Michigan’s swingin’ frat
rockers meets wave-pop return to NYC for a rare
appearance. Guitar, Drums and Farfisa Organ. They
were signed to Norton Records in the late 80s and have
been rockin ever since. Real RocknRoll. Note – the
drummer and keyboard player have been backing The
Paybacks and Johnny Hentch’s new band is SSM.

TURPENTINE BROTHERS – Another band with guitar,
keyboard and drums! This band has more of a 60s soul,
rocknroll feel. Fans of Reigning Sound and Detroit
Cobras, will dig this Boston trio’s swingin’ sounds.

Band info for Saturday 7/29:

ROCKET FROM THE TOMBS – This is the original, seminal
Cle punk band from the 70s. The band has been written
about countless times by Lester Bangs, Legs McNeil,
David Fricke and any number of rocknroll journalists
as one of the more important bands of the post
Velvets/Stooges American underground of the mid-1970s.
The band that penned two of the most important
anthems of punk’s first wave, “Sonic Reducer” and
“Final Solution”; they also penned such classics of
the era as 30 Seconds Over Tokyo” and “Ain’t It Fun”
and “Life Stinks”. This is the band that spawned two
of Ohio’s more famous late 70s punk acts, Dead Boys
(Cheetah Chrome) and Pere Ubu (Crocus Behemoth, aka
David Thomas). The band first got back together
around a CD comp of rare recordings from 1974-1975 and
toured the US in 2003 to much acclaim. They NYC shows
were astounding!!! This short tour includes, the same
lineup, including original members David Thomas (vox),
Cheetah Chrome (guitars), Craig Bell (bass), plus
Richard Lloyd on guitar (Television) and Steve Mehlman
on drums (Pere Ubu).
NOTE – see attached press kit for more info.

THE LITTLE KILLERS – It is fitting that NYC rocknroll
trio, The Little Killers return to play this year’s
Dot Dash Fest. They were on the very first Dot Dash
show (July 2002 w/ Rogers Sisters) and they played the
first Dot Dash Fest (July 2003 w/ Black Lips and The
Spits at Sin-e’). The band was on a short hiatus in
the late 2005, early 2006. But they are back with an
amazing new record on Gern Blandsten Records, recorded
by Jim Diamond. There is a reason John Peel flipped
over this band ad featured them on one of his final
Peel Sessions. REAL rocknroll indeed!

DC SNIPERS – It is fitting that this New Jersey
proto-punk, rocknroll band would play a bill with
RFTT. They would have fit quite nicely on a bill
guys would have fit in nicely in the Mid West pre-punk
era circa 1975 w/ Rocket, Electric Eels or The Pagans.
They had a successful tour and SXSW showcase this
Spring to support their debut release, “Missile
Sunset” on Dead Beat Records. They are in the studio
this Summer to record their follow up. Dot Dash is
proud to have them back on this year’s festival.

ANGRY ANGLES Jay Reatard and Alix Lid lead this
amazing, frantic wave-punk band. This Memphis band
last played a wild show at one of Todd P’s loft in
February with Black Lips and Tyrades. Very catchy,
fast music with hooks, influences are bands like Wire,
Devo and Wipers. Excellent performers. The band also
runs one of the hippest labels around, Shattered
Records.

IMAGINARY ICONS – Dot Dash’s “house band” so to speak,
included TomDash on bass. Art-punk, psych-drone
rocknroll with songs about living off The Grid,
Kenneth Anger and face transplants! The band should
have their first 7 inch single ready for the Fest on
Daggerman Records.
