WHAT IS THIS… DP?
Eight powerful limbs and two bearded heads… a beast has awoken in the East. Unsatisfied with frail sounds of indie rock and the sworn enemies of cantopop, DP rely not on cunning or glamour, but sheer unstoppable power to inspire the hearts of the crowd.
The duo of Dave Wong (vocals and bass) and Paul Maclean (drums) conjure a thundering sound that is somewhere “’twixt rock and metal” – a primordial cacophony, summoned from the ancient gods.
Loud. Fast. Heavy. Big. Hairy. Understand?
Since forming in early 2007, DP has made a storming impression in their home city of Hong Kong. Shortly after the band came together, DP was invited to play at the prestigious industry showcase event Music Matters, and have played packed out shows in clubs such as yumla, Fringe Club, Grappa’s Cellar, Backstage Live and the infamous Pier Pressure shows at the Lamma ferry terminal.
At the Clockenflap festival, DP shared the jumbo stage with the likes of Young Knives, and played an unforgettable show alongside Canadian rockers You Say Party! We Say Die! during the band’s Asian tour.
In the summer of 2008 DP embarked on their first overseas campaign, traveling to the UK for a small tour that included stops in Brighton, Oxford and London, as well as a main stage appearance at Truck Festival – a stage headlined later that day by The Lemonheads.
DP’s actions have not gone unnoticed, and the band now enjoys an endorsement with premiere microphone makers Shure. DP also placed 7th on Time Out Hong Kong’s list of the city’s best musical acts in 2008.
You can try to describe DP as
‘psychedelic-this’ or ‘metal-that’, though that’s missing the point. This kind of rock purity
needs no prefix, no suffix. No nothing.
When all is said and done - DP IS ROCK.
That is all you need to know.
Bonjour DP Thanks for the friendly add and comment I like your sound and the good energy in your music great to see the videos Best wishes from France (Follow me on twitter.com/pascal95 ) Pascal
We're about to record a new EP but can't decide which songs to put on it. To avoid any more 'heated debates' we've decided to let the good people of the internet decide.
