Pearl Harbor and the Explosions reunite for one show on June 7th 2007
to pay tribute to the maven of the Mab, Dirk Dirksen at Dirk Fest being held at Slim's in S.F.
PHATE had a meteoric 18 month career during which they became the most popular club band in the Bay Area. Winners of the 1979 Bammies for Best Independent Single ("Drivin'" on 415 records) and Best Club Band (the only write in category!), the band recorded an album for Warner Bros. and toured the nation. Since their breakup in 1981, they've only performed together once before - don't miss this "historic" event! (this bio will be embellished as time permits...)

Many of you were aware the Dirk Dirksen had been working on a book, to be published by Last Gasp, about his life especially his days with the Fab Mab and beyond. I was in the Last Gasp Publishing offices a couple of weeks ago on other business when they pointed out three boxes full of paper "There is Dirksen's book, make it happen." When I got home and sorted through the contents, lots of posters, newspaper articles, list of shows at the Mab and Off Broadway and an interview of Dirk interviewing himself. I did find a couple of stories people had written about their experiences with Dirk. After reading those I realized that almost everyone had a Dirk story. I am asking people to send their Dirk Stories, the good, the bad and the ugly. We will print most of them depending on space and content. Each person's story that is published will receive a copy of the book when it is publish. If you have a photo of yourself with Dirk send that along. Sending your story to the address below means you release rights to Last Gasp and in consideration you will be paid the sum of One U. S. Dollar and with a copy of the finished book for the stories used. Along with your story we will need your mailing address. End date for receiving stories is January 31, 2009 Send to: dirksenstories@gmail.com Please forward to any one who may have had contact with Dirk.
Thank You James Stark and Last Gasp
PS: We are looking for photographs of Dirk if you have any let us know about the content and if possible a low res. scan
