THE DICKIES - STILL PARANOID


AHHHH THE DICKIES !!!!

I love the Dickies. I really thought they were like this joke band that would sooner or later go away. I never thought I would be still talking or writing about them in 2006. But here they are. And from as you can see they are still belting out tunes. The lead singer is still going through puberty and they still have great control over their sound.

"Bowling With Bedrock Barney" was my introduction to this over the wall band. And of course the ultra-unforgettable, "Knights in White Satin" (BECAUSEILOVEYOU) is another instant hit. The quivery vocals sided up to gnarley, (like that word?) guitars served up a mean serving of Brutal Pie with a side dish of hysteria.

Seeing them do a take on Black Sabbath is just too much.
