Dez Dare

Psyched As. is pleased to present the tour for Australian born, UK based artist Dez Dare and is new album ‘A Billion Goats. ABillion Sparks. Fin’! Piling up the synths, noise boxes and guitar pedals, Dez builds a soundscape of noise and ideas around the nature of reality, time, and how we interact with them. From the music you would play in your last moments, to the reverse Darwinism of modern society, to arguing with time itself, and very boring people talking at you, all is covered here for the aspiring existentialist. The self-produced Australian has spent over 3decades producing music, releasing and touring bands, and doing live sound for z-grade metal bands. Growing up in the coastal town of Geelong (Djilang) in Australia, he was introduced to the DIY punk and rock scene at 15 and this community and the ideas rooted in the underground music scene have guided his output and ethics throughout his career. Joining him for the ride is rock legend Robbie Thunder and local legends Princess Unit. Tickets are on sale now! ‘A Billion Goats. A Billion Sparks. Fin.’ out now on God Unknown. "Sounds like MONSTER MAGNET and DEVO caught in a drug bust. Heavy groove riffs and psych experimentation nestle up to chirping 8-bit synths and crunchy beats, accompanied by spoken/barked vocals... Highly unique and highly recommended." MAXIMUM ROCKNROLL "There's an anarchic joy to Smallman's DIY production." The Wire "The Australian psych-punk legend is a true underground hero." Clash "Pulsing electro-punk." Vive Le Rock
