DIMAGE was founded in 1990 by Nikki Dimage and Brian Azbell. Dimage and Azbell filled the DIMAGE line up with fellow guitarist Jason Staton, bassist Russ Kahle and lead vocalist Scott Board.
Board was also the vocalist for CEREBUS, a NC Metal band that made the Metal charts in Germany in the mid-late 80's with their album "TOO LATE TOO PRAY". CEREBUS seems to be still well known in the European metal scene.
Nikki Dimage is currently in LINE OF FIRE. A Melodic Rock / AOR band who's debut album was released in 2005 on TRIBUNAL RECORDS. It has sold out but will be repressed in 2009. LOF is currently finishing up their second album.
DIMAGE was managed by 32nd Street Entertainment and with the help of C&C Concerts landed opening spots for the likes of TRIXTER, SURVIVOR and a slot on a festival bill held in Charleston, SC on the 4th of July in 1992. The bill featured such acts as FOGHAT, NANTUCKET, JACKYL, and now famous guitarist DEREK TRUCKS. Derek was only about 9 years old that day and now tours with the legendary ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND! The show was headlined by another legendary southern rock band. LYNYRD SKYNYRD! DIMAGE was a little intimidated by the fame of these artists and the fact that our music was not exactly southern rock! Fortunately we were received very well by over 20,000 people.
DIMAGE recieved positive response from major record labels and even received some radio airplay but as 1992 came to an end so did the chance for that "Big Break". Grunge took over and labels were reluctant to sign a band like DIMAGE. Sadly, we disbanded in 1993. A short run but alot of good memories.
I just wanted to share a part of my early years with friends and My Space members. For those of you who come upon this page, you can learn more about me (Nikki) and what I am up to in the here and now on my Artist page, or the LINE OF FIRE page.
Thanks for the amazing responses and support! --- Nikki Dimage (2005)
