Dick Delicious was formed in Mesopotamia in the fall of 1992. Formed
by leisure specialist / freelance gynecologist Richard B. Delicious
and Tibetan monk / chili technician, the pair had been searching for
a drummer for twenty years when they found their first drummer,
Harry Scrotum, hiding in the back of the van. Shortly after, they relocated
to Atlanta and the trio began playing locally and recorded the first
demo "Guns, Drugs, Skimasks, and Pornography". The tape (recorded on a
cheesy 6-track in a basement) charted on collage radio and sold around
500 copies in a few months. The bands penchant for a variety of styles
of music, scantily clad female dancers, outrageous on stage antics,
and politically incorrect lyrics quickly made them one of Atlanta's
top draws. In 1994 DDTT hooked up with The Babes in Toyland's Spanish Fly
label to put out the "I Wish I was a Dog" 7-inch. With the release of the
single, the band broadened it's horizons and began to play regionally,
and quickly gained followings in other cities by selling crack cocaine
to the audience. By 1995, the band attracted the attention of the,
Atlanta based, Reality Records. The band recorded and mixed their debut CD in
four hectic days with help from producer Posh Spice. Dick Delicious went on
the road road sporadically in support of the CD (when their van runs).
Shorter after the release of the CD the band parted ways with Reality,
because they were a shitty half-assed operation and began pressing and
promoting themselves. The effort paid off, the bands two CDs soared up
SoundScan, and the CDs finally went aluminum. By 1997 the band fell on
rough times. DDTT briefly added a second guitar player, B.L. Zebub, the group
had gone through about seven drummers (in true Spinal Tap fashion), the band
had all of it's gear stolen from their practice room, and Dick was arrested
for possession of LSD while on tour. Things went on indefinant hiatus...
Delicious re-formed in early 1998 with the best lineup to date,
with drummer Chaz Chizler. They recorded a new CD entitled "We Sold Our
Souls for Wet Sloppy Holes", which was released in the summer of 1999
after Dick served a 7.5 month sentence in prison for possession of
drugs. Around that time the band received an unexpected break - heavy
Napster trading finally had made them a household name (just ask anyone)
and they began to to appear on TRL disguised as Carson Daily and Eminem.
The band was killed in a rush of 15 year old snizz when the audience
found out. In October 2000, Dick Delicious was resurrected by Satan from
their graves and came back with "than an even better than the last
line up...lineup", when Dick and Hugh found Islam and vowed to never
have another no-rythm having white cracker devil drummer again. Thus,
they recruited drummer Busta Hymen - at a race riot in South Africa. In
2001 after numerous "near misses" with negotiations with record labels and
crappy deals with the ones that did sign them, the band decided to form their
own label WFPTSO (We Finally Put This Shit Out Ourselves Records) and
released the band's 3rd CD, plus reissues of the first two CDs on that label.
The band's future plans include getting colon cancer, amputating our arms
with plastic sporks, and taking Jessica Simpson to a donkey show. In 2002
Hugh discovered he was half Jewish, when his German half attempted to throw
him in an open oven.
BallBuster: Introduce your current line-up to our readers?
Dick: Dick Delicious, will and always has been, Hugh G. Rection and
myself, plus a succession of different drummers. We've had twelve
dummers since we started, making a drummer average tenure in Dick
Delicious somewhere around 8 or 9 months, cause me and Hugh are real
assholes. Right now Busta Hymen is pounding the skins and banging all of the
white women for us. Me - I'm a race trader and prefer to hang
with sistas'. Hugh
BB: How long has the group been in existance?
Dick: We stared the band in 684 A.D. when we were all Vikings...then we
traveled forward in time to 1965 and started a Viking metal
band. Unfortunately we were a little ahead of our time, so we teleported
back the 684 A.D. Then we went ahead again to 1992 where we wound up
hanging out in a strip bar on a few hits of acid - that's where we got the
idea for this band.
BB: In your own words describe your band's sound
& influences?
Dick: We are influenced primarily by Bud light...we drink it constantly. I
am a big fan of the wacky tabaky, but the rest of the band is one Federal
Probation for crossing state lines with an un-registered fetus - so they
can't smoke. Those guys do a lot of the ole' Devil's Dandruff, but my heart
can't handle it cause of so many years of pork abuse. Xanax, keeps my from
flipping out and arbitrarily killing Muslims. You can never go wrong with LSD
or Ecstasy. Other than that, we like Monty Python, Tenacious D, old Richard
Pryor, South Park, and Beavis and Butthead - not to mention "Girls Who Suck
Cock and Eat Cum Volume 666" and about every other hetero porn film the adult
industry has ever produced. This makes for a really shitty, stupid sounding
band.
BB:Name
some bands in which you've shared the stage & opened?
Dick: We never share the stage with anyone. I mean we're all kind of fat, so
there's barley enough room for us!! We really enjoyed out digging
out Bitney Spears's nappy when she opened her legs once, while on a bunch
of roofies that we gave her. Headlining the last Lileth Fair was a
memorable moment. I heard a rumor that Elvis is thinking about coming back
from the dead, cause he wants to open for us.
BB: Where & what studio did the production take
place of your current release?
Dick: Our latest release "Bigger than Ron Jeremy" was recorded in a tin
storage shed, that was formerly owned by, Pablo Escobar, on a boom box. I
spent the last 5 years moving the boom box from location to location around
our storage shed to find just that right sound.
BB: What is the current scene like in your local
area & how does Dick D fit in?
Dick: The scene in Atlanta sucks 400 pile bags of elephant dick. The only
good thing is since we've been around since 1992...I mean...684
A.D, we've lasted long enough to attract a large loyal following in
Atlanta and the states our fucked up ass van can get to in Da' Dirty
South. We're the last real metal band in the ATL as far as I'm
concerned. Everybody else is just a bunch of New Metal crap, which is gay.
We're the only one's that have kept it real, and straight people
appreciate that.
BB: What's the bands long & short term goals
as far as touring, recording, writing ect ?
Dick D: Well our short goals are to get drunk and fu+k some strippers, which
I am going to do as soon as I finish this interview. Our long term
goals are to release CD after CD for our own mega-label "We Finally Put
This Shit Out Ourselves Records" that will keep blasting up the pop
charts with New Metal song after New Metal song about how disturbed we
are, how you gotta "Get Away", and how our parents didn't molest us enough.
We're already working on our forth CD and will release it weather a real
label will put it our or not, and we plan on doing enough gigs to where we
can finally get booked in Amsterdam. There, we will do so much
drinking, drug taking, and 100 Guilder hooker screwing that we forget to
play our own show. As far as wring goes, I'm working on a book now about
ways to make Salad Dressing at home.
BB: What would you say is your biggest gripe
about the music industry?
Dick: Oh man, I can't gripe about the music industry at all - it's been
great to us...I mean, how else would I be able to afford the gold
plated Lambourgini's and my own mansion which it will take 10 episodes of
MTV Cribs to cover? I really get tired of having to smack all the
record executives, throwing lucrative contracts, out of my way every time
I walk out my door...THAT gets old. The fact that Yanni ever became part
of "the music industry" kind of disturbs me, but other than that we've
enjoyed every minute of it. :-)
BB: Has there been any label interest ?
Dick: One time, after almost 10 years of being turned down by label after
label, I was listening to our new CD...I was so impressed with it
I decided to sign myself. Other than that, really nothing.
BB: Anything you wish to ad?
