Dicksography

July 1, 2009

DICKSlive

The Dicks are one of the classic hardcore/punk bands from Texas.

A lot of Texas punk groups seemed to differ from the standard hardcore sound with ‘weird’ groups like the Butthole Surfers and the funk influence in the Big Boys music, while the Dicks had a blues edge to their sound.

Like some of those other groups (Big Boys, MDC) they had an openly gay member in lead singer Gary Floyd – but does that really mean anything?

For the first time I think I can actually claim that this is a complete discography. There were actually two line-ups for The Dicks: a Texas based one from 80-83 and a San Francisco based one from 83-86. With the exception of the track Gilbeau, these two downloads represent each one respectively.
