Influences
We were all living in the mountains in Asia. High rollers, gambling. We were in a castle. This night I lost big time. Nobody in the band would cover my losses. It was a few grand. The guitarist told me he was sick of covering my losses. .. The next day they had gone. I pursued them but by the time I had got to the rendezvous point they had gone. When I walked into the hall where I was to meet them, a massive tea party was taking place. I knew it was a cover. An old man came to me and told me that he had to show me my guilt. He took me to a room where my drummer lay. He had been beaten beyond recognition but was still alive. I knew I was responsible because he had asked to cover my debts .. long story. We escaped. ..
Years later we were walking together in a market and we passed by our gambling partner; our guitarist. At the moment I glanced in recognition, I knew I had made a massive mistake. Time had allowed an unguarded glance which I knew only seconds later was a deadly mistake. Squatting behind him was my assassin. I realized at that instant that she had been pursuing me for all these years to recover the debt.

THE DACIOS are a high-octane, lysergic, nitrous sucking rock n’ roll beast. ..
Like a reprobate Phoenix exploding from the ashes of legendary Tasmanian band Little Ugly Girls, THE DACIOS initially tore onto local stages in 2005. ..
Their first dangerously flammable line-up boasted Linda J (Little Ugly Girls) on larynx/guitar; Bean (Little Ugly Girls, Keith’s Yard) on guitar/back-ups; and Pops on traps. ..
Permanently stimulated by a synapse twisting brew of rock n’ roll sour mash, THE DACIOS are esteemed for their white-heat live performances (now featuring Gus – Brian Hooper Band – on drums). They’ve recently revved up rooms for Eddy Current Suppression Ring (album launch); Deniz Tek’s Visitors; Legends of Motorsport; Ninety Nine; The Stabs; and Witch Hats. They also helped RRR celebrate its 30th birthday bash in typically debauched style. ..
But there’s more to this than the brain pulverising roar of a supercharged V12 running full throttle through a nuclear junkyard. Linda J’s lyrical concoctions are a virulent antivenom which she expectorates in heaving torrents against the darkening forces of urban banality. Her unflinching psychic insights wrench the cancerous lesions of modern life into the glare and splay love’s ordeals on a dissection table like so many toads, their entrails pullulating with rheumy ooze. ..
THE DACIOS first bottled batch - ‘Monkeys Blood’ - available now via Tom Lyngcoln's cochlear speakeasy, Solar/Sonar (distributed by Shock).

It's going to be a monster four band pile up on highway 666 as Vultures of Venus crash into the Birmingham on Thursday the 3rd of ..heir debut LP which is now available through I-Tunes has been receiving strong support and favorable reviews from local radio RRR, PBS and Syn Fm. It will also be available in hard copy on the night. This gig is gonna be fun, fun, fun on the Smith st autobahn. Armed with big rock riffs and blazing electrified keys this is the Vultures first show since their sellout LP Launch. This is a band with a plan; and that plan is to make you do the Can Can. Joining them on the night is Mirrorhouse Antics whos live show is a cross between the Arctic Monkeys and The Stooges. They have just released their debut album, recorded at Bakehouse by Mikey from Eddie Current Suppression Ring. Dan Webb's 60's styled Hammond infused insanity is gonna be something to look out for as well as the 'Wise Flys' : they'll make you laugh they'll make you cry, they'll make you laugh about crying. And don't forget to look out for the crazy clown pinyada filled with burning flesh and give away fun toys for the kids. This is a B.Y.O "leotard friendly event ". So pour yourself into your favorite and come on down !!!

Thanks for being our myspace friend. We get spammed all the time on myspace and its getting hard to know who's a fan and who isn't. If you are a fan it would be great to see you at our next gig - see www.jimmyyukka.com. In future the best way to find out about what we are up to is to join our mailing list.
