Dick The Bruiser is a two-piece, bass & drums, post punk combo with affected theremin thrown in for - affect. Fuzzy, angular, heavy, urgent music!
K. Wade & T. Sellers held down the bottom-end of the instro-quartet P’elvis for several years, releasing the HIFI WRECK IN SLO MO ep, and JETBLACKITALIC full-length along the way. You can still find that stuff here http://pelvishifi.com - it has aged well. But DTB is the fresh stuff - so let’s talk about that!
You can hear a few cuts from our 5-song ep titled SEVERE SONGS - right here, if you like. Watch for a full-length release in the Winter of 2009. Or - come see us live! We’re typically generous with our free download cards. Just say hello!
