   DV8: General Info
Member Since1/29/2006
Band Members

Steve (Front) Scorpio.
Wants to bring world peace through the rapid expansion of upscale shopping venues in third world countries.
"The reason those people can't get jobs is their obvious contempt for professional attire. Show me your willingness to look the part of a professional and I'll show you a third-world refugee with style."
Always has a second shirt available that is made with shiny material.

Dan (bass, communications) Capricorn. Believes William Faulkner should have used spell check and better followed the established rules of grammer.
"Reading books takes time away from the mall. I won't tolerate that. Certainly I could try to dazzle you with literary prose derived from Faulkner's stream of consciousness techniques, but I don't understand what any of that means."

Tony (drums, vocal) Sagitarius/Cancer.
Driven by attention to detail.
"Punctuality defines the depth of mankinds's willingness to weave a social fabric that allows us, as organisms in this so-called drama that is life, to relax and rid our inner selves of the tensions derived from over scheduling."
Never votes for a politician with a mustache. "If they don't have time for proper and thorough hygiene, then they don't have time to govern properly."
Vegetarian, except for chicken and pork.

Brad (guitar, vocal) Converted Libra.
Believes anything as long as it can be verified on the Internet.
"I hate sports. They're just too competitive. sometimes I attend Super Bowl parties just to initiate abstract conversations that have nothing to do with football."
Was crushed to find out Britney Spears lip synched her performances. "She's so talented, she really doesn't need to do that. Her songs say so much about my life. Just the other day I annihilated a batch of french toast and I said, 'oops I did it again.' Really, that's freaky when you think about it."

Carey (keyboard, guitar, vocal) Scorpio (the movie).
Can recite nearly every line of dialogue from all of the movies he has seen. Misses reading Larry King’s column in USA Today.
"I think Rodney Dangerfield was underrated as an actor. I also think that once you kill a coyote in a cartoon, he shouldn't be allowed back in that same episode – it lacks credibility. I cried when Spock died and was shocked when they brought him back in the next movie. And, I think independent films should follow more closely what is produced in Hollywood. They would make more money. Why would you mess with success?"

Influences

We're a cover band. Here's part of the set list:
deeper and deeper; things can only get better; don’t you forget about me; sledgehammer; big Country; blinded me with science; right here right now; hot hot hot; little miss can't be wrong; One thing leads to another; modern love; beds are burning; and she was; Unskinny Bop; in the still of the night; lay your hands on me; New Age Girl; the look; billy jean; wild wild west; ballroom blitz let’s go; need you tonight; black cat; dizz knee land; our house; shook me all night long; Fight for your right; relax

   About DV8

If you like reliving the 80s, you need to see DV8. Just like the bands of the 80s, we have no political depth and live by any moral code promoted within the spending limit of a credit card charging 18% interest.

We offer nothing useful to society – unless you personally value our iron-like ability to withstand the onslaught of adult beverages, often purchased for us by our lovely fans (we sincerely thank you for this privilege), to circumvent any inkling of potential moral behavior.

We believe that there is nothing wrong with society that can’t be fixed with one glove, some Spandex, a head band, a coating of hairspray and a dollop of make up.

"The groovy beat makes my hips gyrate really fast. Chicks dig that."
-- Greg Brady

"We danced our first slow dance together at a DV8 show. People were a little uncomfortable with that."
-- Donny and Marie Osmond

"For a bunch of guys playing 80s music, they have good taste."
-- Jeffrey Dahmer

"Mother doesn't like 80s music."
-- Norman bates

"DV8 saved me some serious money on plastic surgery."
-- Michael Jackson

"We ain't heard music that good since Ellie May dated that little banjo playin' feller on 'Deliverance.'"
-- Granny

"The music gets me drinkin' and dancin, but somehow I always end up with that pig."
-- Kermit The Frog

"They ruined my prom."
-- Carrie
