Album Notes

Dick Van Dick has performed at bars and clubs all over New York City and Long Island including: The Orange Bear, The Pyramid Club, Downtime, Arlene Grocery, and ACME Underground.

Joe Porletto (lead singer/guitarist) met Hank (drummer) and Chris (bassist) Encizo while working in New York City as a digital artist. Hank and Chris have played together all their lives and have an uncanny knack for anticipating each other's moves. Nothing can knock the Brothers Encizo out of synch. Add to that solid foundation the thrashing, powerful rhythms of Joe's guitar and his unique vocal antagonism and you have quite an indomitable assemblage.

rock and roll the way it should be

Where do I begin?? These guys kick ass, pure and simple. I don't know what I like more, the lyrics or the singing or the drums or the bass or the wanging guitar. I've been listening to them for a few years now, and they seem to just get better and better. My only regret is I live too far away to go see them live whenever they play in the city. I'm hoping they put out a new CD soon, so I can give it to all my friends at Xmas. Keep it up fellas.

I used to have problems meeting girls until I got dick'd

A lot of bands come on to the scene these days and want props before they deliver note one. Dick Van Dick is no such band. They take the seat at the head of the rock and roll table and play hurly-burly with the boy girl boy girl seating convention. Girl Girl Girl Girl Dick Girl Girl Girl and chicken is always on the table. That's the way it goes on Dicktastrophe. Want to scream and yell about how kick ass your band is? Then go write a "bev". Go bring in Demasi. When your band can do that, when you can immortalize your public ahead of yourself, when you can find it in your heart to sing about christmas all year round and mean it, then and only then will your band be fit to be demolished under the weight of Dicktastrophe. The best Dick Van Dick yet and they're just getting started.

These guys know how to play, and write. I've never seen them live, but I can tell they get people in the mood. Definitely recommend adding this to your collection.
