Dave Dalton of The Ol' Cheeky Bastards are like the Faces teaming up with the Pogues to out drink T. Rex and the Sweet! Lead Bastard Dave Dalton -- a seminal SF punk who founded the Screaming Bloody Marys and Cell Block 5 -- is a charismatic performer with a sweetly tortured voice who writes melodic songs awash in truth, pain, and hand-to-hand combat.
OUT NOW! The stunning, minimalistic folk gem that is BAG 'O' TRICKS on Vagrant Records of Seattle. Produced by another seminal SF punker, Michael Molenda (Silhouette, Wobblies, Ascot Jacket, The Trouble With Monkeys), BAG 'O' TRICKS delivers one-take performances of "Bastardized" Pogues tunes and original songs that are gritty, gutsy, and mesmerizing. Listen!
COMING SOON! Dave Dalton of The Bastards are hard at work on WORKING CLASS HEROES AND TRUTHS for ROTTEN EGGS RECORDS. This starkly textured acoustic production is a split CD with LEWIS THE SWAN that includes brand new Dalton tunes ("In the Afternoon," "Penthouse Lounge"), an acoustic reworking of Dalton's hit "Scooter Boy," the Bastards' premiere all-band collaboration ("Six Seconds"), an old Wobblies classic ("Little Reasons"), and a thrilling cover of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band's epic "Anthem" (complete with bagpipes!). Produced by Michael Molenda. (Hint: Seek out live previews on YouTube.)
