About
Los Angeles punk-pop veterans The Dickies have survived line-up changes, "untimely deaths" and gigs spent sweating in satin clown costumes in a career spanning nearly fifty years.
Founding members Stan Lee and Leonard Graves Phillips still have the same energy and ferocity that they had in the 70s when they were at the cusp of the burgeoning LA punk scene, inspired by bands like the Ramones and the Damned.
“The Dickies” are well known for recording many fast-paced punk covers of classic rock songs, including The Moody Blues' "Nights in White Satin," Black Sabbath's "Paranoid," and the TV theme from "The Banana Splits”.
The Riverrooms gig on Wednesday 15th July will be the first night of their European tour, so expect all the favourite songs to get an airing as well as new tracks from their forthcoming release.
Stan Lee says, “The set list will be a musical potpourri and as long as we do Banana Splits we'll get out alive."
