The greatest rock'n'roll band of all time, The Dwarves,
finally make it to Ireland on saturday august 11! One of the most bizarre
and misunderstood bands of all time, their concerts can be kinda chaotic..
all kinds of fucking messing.. no refunds..
DWARVES
Born in Illinois in the mid 80's as a
paisley garage band, by 1989 they had morphed into fire breathing California
grunge icons, putting Sub/Pop on the map with their seminal "Blood,
Guts and Pussy" album, rated by SPIN magazine as the most offensive
album of all time, edging out the ROLLING STONES and 2 LIVE CREW.
Led by the two core band members Blag Dahlia, and guitarist He Who Cannot
Be Named, The Dwarves have blazed across America and the world, leaving
a trail of blood from their own self-inflicted gashes, a trail of drug
stories (according to popular myth, bassist XXXXX disappeared in Detroit
on a crack binge during a 1992 tour, never to be heard from again), a
trail (or tale) of bizarre stage-show sex acts,(with some aggressive fights
on stage (with the audience and even a cop)) and a trail of numerous 15-minute-long
live shows.
At one point he band issued a press release stating that guitarist He
Who Cannot Be Named had died. The album Sugarfix also carried a tribute
to the guitarist, who was actually very much alive. Sub Pop was not amused
and dropped the band.
Their Latest record, the incredible THE DWARVES MUST DIE was released
on Sympathy For The Record Industry in 2004
