Punk Rock veterans The Dwarves return with a sprawling genre defying trip through the underbelly of rock & roll, pop, punk, thrash, garage, surf, metal and experimental noise with their trademark transgressive lyrics and shocking visual imagery.
Ringmaster Blag Dahlia is joined by a whip smart band including celebrity drummerJosh Freese (Foo Fighters), legendary multi-instrumentalist Nick Oliveri (Kyuss) and dozens of rock luminaries making the high production value and low brow humor of the Dwarves a breath of fresh air amidst the cookie cutter cryfest modern rock has become. If you’re not careful, you just might catch something!
For forty years the Dwarves have shocked and mystified audiences across the globe with their unique blend of punk, garage, thrash and experimental music. Hailing from the Midwest, they settled in San Francisco in the mid-1980’s, becoming pioneers in the grunge scene gigging with Nirvana, L7, the Muffs and more. They were fixtures in the hardcore and pop punk scene as well notching shows with Offspring, Green Day, Social Distortion and playing well over a thousand gigs worldwide. Since their start as a paisley garage band these thrash punk icons have released over a dozen full length records, and countless singles and videos, as well as appearing in the soundtracks for hundreds of films, television shows, skate comps, and multimedia presentations.
They have also had their share of scandals through the years, titillating audiences with tastefully shocking album covers; outrageous death hoaxes; well documented feuds and brawls with other bands, labels and spectators; and audacious songs and record production that kept fans and foes alike guessing for four decades. With a revolving cast of memorable characters and brutal live musicians, producer Blag Dahlia has carved out legendary status declaring the Dwarves, ”the last punk band!” The Dwarves Concept Album features 20 brand new instant classics from the undisputed masters of punk rock and all points in between with a classic cover shot by F. Scott Schafer to top off this sprawling cinematic release. The Dwarves Concept Album has arrived!
