New Email Address • Thursday • December 9, 2004
 

New temporary email address: 5yearplan@cfl.rr.com

My Internet service provider killed my couchslouch account when I moved. So, if you've sent me an email in the last month or so, please send it again to the above address.

Sorry for being lazy with the updates; been real busy with moving to a new house and other stuff...Plus, I haven't heard any news from the band. Finally, I've settled in to my new pad and setup the music room with the amp stack and drum kit...I'm sure my new neighbors already hate me from the noise (the walls and windows literally shake).

More Tour Dates (Again) • Tuesday • August 17, 2004
 

Well...Hurricane Charley has taken a big giant sh*t on our heads here in central Florida where I'm located. I consider myself very lucky, everything is still intact and functioning. Anyway...I've seen some dates for CA and Tijuana in September. There should also be a date for Phoenix soon since that show was cancelled.

Check Pollstar for the latest.

Upcoming Tour • Thursday • June 10, 2004
 

The new D.R.I. tour will begin in a few weeks. Strong Intention will also be on this bill opening. These guys are wicked fast and brutal.

Get those flyers out there! Tell your friends, drag your parents to the show.

I'll be at the Jacksonville, FL show. Hope to see you there too!

Check Pollstar for the latest.

   
More Tour Dates • Wednesday • April 7, 2004
 

All dates are in for Europe. More dates are coming in for the U.S. Hopefully, they will be finalized soon. Not a whole lot going on; same as usual.

Check Pollstar for updates.

   
European Dates • Sunday • February 8, 2004
 

A few european dates have trickled in for Germany on Pollstar...Not sure what's planned for the U.S.

I've been on the hunt for new music and I feel I'm behind the times with some the bands I've recently gotten into, like The Haunted and Dew Scented. Both of these bands have multiple releases out and I'm just now getting into them. Thank god Suffocation has reformed and is on tour; really missed them. I'm looking for any bands out there that are really good and can really tear it up. Any suggestions? Please tell me.

   
Another Year Down The Tubes • Monday • December 22, 2003
 

I accomplished absolutely nothing in 2003 except for replenishing some of my CD collection with old school thrash from eBay auctions; I paid a hefty price for some of the rare ones! Bought a new amp stack too; the neighbors love me!

D.R.I. is gearing up for a European tour this coming up spring 2004. Other than that, all is the same. And please remember...The guest list is given to the door people by the band when they arrive at the show. So, don't get there too early.

Happy Holidays!

   
Texas Shows • Monday • November 24, 2003
 

I changed the top header of the Web site to add a little flare. The old one was getting boring. I may change this one around, too.

The confirmed Texas shows are listed on the tour page for the beginning of December; early Christmas present! The guest list has been completed for the Texas shows. Thanks to our members who are promoting those shows and all previous ones...Your support is highly appreciated!

   
Latest Tour Info • Sunday • September 27, 2003
 

So far, only California and Texas have confirmed dates for the upcoming tour. Check the tour page for when and where. Be sure to get those flyers circulated and the word out!

Check out the new D.R.I. skate deck! Available at Beer City Skateboards. (near bottom of page)

*** IMPORTANT ***
I have a request from the band: They would like to include a new section on the Street Team site of Street Team members photos with the band. If you have some, please email them to me so I can get this new page up and running. They were also thinking that any new photos taken could be with the band playing in the background while you are holding up the flyers you did for the show...Or something to that effect.

   
Another Tour? • Thursday • July 24, 2003
 

Just as things are settling down again, new tour dates are coming in for later this year. The plan is to hit various spots around the globe; possibly Costa Rica, Japan, Australia, Alaska, Greece and some in the Bay area.

 

Check out the D.R.I. Store page, there's new street wear and miscellaneous stuff. I got my hands on one of the new workshirts...super nice!

New D.R.I. Fan Club site. Completely revamped.

 
   
Back To Normal • Thursday • June 12, 2003
 

Boo hoo, the tour is over. Plans for another tour this fall are being worked. Thanks again to all the Street Team members who promoted and made it to the shows!

The Street Team site has been up over a year now and we have close to 60 members across the states. More and more are joining. Keep 'em comin'!

The new D.R.I. site is up and running...Totally redesigned! It still needs a minor touch-up here and there. Check out the D.R.I. Store page, there's new stuff available.

   
Tour Has Started • Thursday • May 1, 2003
 

Finally!!! The tour has started with New Society of Anarchists opening. Be sure to make the show, you won't regret it! There's already talk of more tours later this year to cover the cities that were missed this time around.

The new D.R.I. Web site is under going its final touch-ups. The new site looks super and is very organized. It should be available soon...Probably when the tour is over.

The image to the right is the jam room theme home page. I didn't want to give the whole thing away and that's why the image is so small. Lots of detail and sounds! (And lots of sweat and time.)

Upcoming Tour • Friday • March 28, 2003
 

The flyers should be getting out there for the upcoming tour. Please spread the word! All is well with the Street Team...More people are joining to support the band. Thanks! I've been super busy with all that's going on around the homestead. We are still trying to finish up the new D.R.I. site; copying over and formatting the content from the existing site is going slow.

If you need some flyer graphics, you may find what you're looking for on the flyer graphics page. Just download 'em. Email your flyers to me, I'd like to see how they turned out.

Check Pollstar for dates in your area.

   
It's Been Quiet • Sunday • February 9, 2003
 

Well...It's been super quiet around here, especially with the holidays gone and New Years past. About the only thing going on is the development of the new D.R.I. Web site, hopefully to be finished up here in the next few weeks. The home page is pretty friggin' wild; just wait and see!

Finally, some new tour dates have been posted on Pollstar. I'm not sure how accurate they are but at least the band will be hitting the east coast this time around.

I removed the "In The Pit" page and replaced it with a "Links" page. I couldn't get enough material for the "Pit" page, so it's gone. Someday I'll finish up the links page.

   
Happy Dirty Rotten Holidays • Friday • December 6, 2002
 


The final leg of the tour has ended. Big thanks to the Street Team members who made flyers and promoted the shows! Not too much going on around here. More new members are coming on board to offer their support.

Really looking forward to a Spring 2003 tour. It will supposedly hit the east coast as well as the rest of the U.S. Any new info about the upcoming tour will be posted as soon as I receive it.

Happy Dirty Rotten Holidays!

   
Fall Tour Started • Sunday • October 27, 2002
 

The final leg of the 2002 tour has started. Be sure to drag all of your friends to the shows. A 2003 Spring tour has been mentioned for the east coast states that were missed this time around.

Check out the new record label!

Future releases will come out on Beer City Records.

 
The new D.R.I. Tribute: We Don't Need Society is out on Malt Soda Recordings.
   
Need New Music? • Tuesday • September 24, 2002
 



New Release
Available NOW!

Extermination Vision

This year has been relatively static when it comes to new music. However, I have seen the light with Maryland's thrashcore outfit called STRONG INTENTION. These guys are fast and brutal! Their new CD "Extermination Vision" is a real gem. They remind me of the good ol' days when bands weren't afraid to let loose with the blast/grind/noise beats. The vocalist/bassist is actually apart of the D.R.I. Street Team.

Head on over to their Web site and check 'em out! There are MP3s and upcoming dates for shows in October.

Fall Tour 2003 • Monday • August 19, 2002
 

Here we are again...Another tour getting ready to start! Let's be sure to get the word out on this leg of the 20 Dirty Rotten Years tour. There are examples on the flyer graphics page that can be used as a template for creating flyers for the shows near you: Just fill in your own information.

If you have something you think needs to be added to this site, please send me your idea; we are always looking to expand this site.

New Street Team Domain • Sunday • August 11, 2002
 

We have finally moved to our own domain name: dirtyrottenteam.com. The free server this site used to be on was continuously down and unreliable...So here we are!

D.R.I. will be continuing its 20 Dirty Rotten Years tour in October across the U.S. As more dates come in, the Street Team will be gearing-up to start promoting their support cities. There are flyer examples on the flyer graphics page which can be used to create flyers for this final leg of the tour.

I'm thinking of doing a new page for the site called "In The Pit." This will be for any of you riff masters that think you can play the ultimate crunch. Send me your MP3 files of your guitar sound in action. If it's worthy, I'll put it on the page. I will be placing some of my own on the page for you to like or hate.

   
We're Growing • Friday • June 7, 2002

On a more serious note...I am forming a new band called We want to keep the D.R.I. music alive for another 20 years. We are writing a lot of hard and fast songs that will surely please anyone. Here's the first promo pic for our "Do The Dream Tour 2002"!

   
Street Team Frontman • Friday • May 17, 2002
 

We now have an official D.R.I. Street Team frontman...Let's call him Mad Man for now. If you have a better name, please send it to me. Thanks to Mike at MaximumFluoride for creating this dude for us! Download Mad Man.

More support cities have been added to the join us page. We still need a lot of people. The number of people needed are next to the city name. If you have friends in any of the cities that would like to join the street team, please send them my way.
