DLR BAND Re-visited

[Halen High]

Yeah, I love the art work for this album. In the mid-late 90s there was something of a Betty Page revival going on. Her image started appearing on t-shirts, posters, skateboards etc. I remember seeing some books on her released about the same time. Typical that Dave picked up on that vibe. It's a great album cover that represents the wild side of Americana and that image goes well with the material. You only have to look at that album cover and you kinda know what to expect. Rock with attitude!

I think no one knows for sure what became of Betty Page.

Didn't it have shortages, cause people were having trouble finding enough copies and there weren't enough in print when it first came out.

Great fucking review man, i need to get my hands on that record

[DLRdelight!]

Is it true you can only get it off the internet?

[Rikk]

Thanks!

It's hard to find it in stores. I think it's still in print, but I'm not sure. If not, definitely get it on E-BAY. It's a fucking classic.

Nice review.

You guys are lucky, it never got a release in Britain at all.

I had to get it on import.

Great CD.

[Halen High]

That's a pity DLR Band was never released in the UK. I remember reading a great review of it in a British rock magazine at the time, which I think was Metal Hammer.

A couple of stores here in Adelaide that specialise in metal/hard rock imported quite a few copies and quickly sold out of them. They ordered more, sold out of them too, but since then I've never seen it again.

So many people are still unaware of this gem of a CD.

I'm listening to that CD right now, and I gotta tell ya, the music is KILLIN'!!! This is, perhaps, DLR's finest solo effort!! "King of the Hill" is just ROCKIN'!!!!!

[Rikk]

KING OF THE HILL is amazing!! LITTLE TEXAS is still my favorite DLR solo tune, but KING OF THE HILL has such a great hook and awesome lyrics!!!

[scottydabodi]

SCREAMIN GUITARS, BIKINIS, AND FAST CARS MOTHERFUCKER!!!! DAVE has an amazing talent of summing up a whole way of life in, like, 6 words...
