-The Dickies were the clown princes of punk, not to mention surprisingly longstanding veterans of the L.A. scene. In fact, by the new millennium, they'd become the oldest surviving punk band still recording new material. In contrast to the snotty, intentionally offensive humor of many comedically inclined punk bands, the Dickies were winningly goofy, inspired mostly by trashy movies and other pop culture camp. Their covers were just as ridiculous as their originals, transforming arena rock anthems and bubblegum pop chestnuts alike into the loud, speed-blur punk-pop — basically the Ramones crossed with L.A. hardcore — that was their musical stock in trade. As the band got older, their music slowed down little by little, but their sound and their sense of humor stayed largely the same, and they were an avowed influence on new-school punkers like Green Day and the Offspring.Inspired by the first wave of punk coming out of New York and London, the Dickies were formed in 1977 in the San Fernando Valley region of Los Angeles. Their initial lineup consisted of cartoon-voiced lead singer Leonard Graves Phillips, guitarist Stan Lee (both of whom would remain constant throughout the band's myriad personnel shifts).
The Queers
Joe Queer - Guitar/Vocals, Dangerous Dave - Bass/Vocals, Lurch Nobody - Drums
-from Portsmouth, NH/Atlanta, GA
-We've been playing music and touring all over the world for almost 30 years now. We released a few records for Lookout! Records in the early 90s and then had a terrible stint with Hopeless in the late 90s. I don't think they wanna see us and we definitely don't wanna see them. Then we released one more record with Lookout! but afterwards switched to our favorite record label we've ever had, Asian Man Records. All this while touring a bunch. We'll see you soon, we're The Queers.

-from Oakland, CA/Pittsburgh, PA
-What do you call 50's rock 'n' roll's bastard child? - The World's 2nd Greatest Rock n Roll Band, THE MEMPHIS MURDER MEN of course! Originally hailing from Pittsburgh, PA, the band evolved from the Steel City's first true horror-punk outfit - The Brain Invaders - and now call Oakland, CA their home. These guys have fired up the stage with The Misfits, Tiger Army, CJ Ramone, The Swingin' Utters, Agent Orange,The Murder Junkies, The Supersuckers, The Quakes, The Guana Batz, Frenzy, The Meteors and just about every legendary psychobilly band there is. The group completely embodies the rock 'n' roll that gave birth to every punk, rockabilly, and psychobilly band out there and do it without regrets or fear of what "the scene" might think. The band is also one of the biggest supports and purveyors of THE RAMONES, The World's GREATEST Rock n Roll Band. The Memphis Murder Men tirelessly spread the rock n roll gospel and with every show they play, the congregation grows. The Memphis Murder Men are putting the nail in the coffin of bad rock 'n' roll and cranking out loud and proud music the way the greats did!
