The same girl that turned me on to Gary Numan and Human Sexual Response lent me The Incredible Shrinking Dickies. So, of course I was a fan, cuz I was a fan of hers. For some reason, even though I saw this sitting in the bin at Tower Records in the village, I could never bring myself to buy it. So, I’ve never heard.
What I’ve learned about The Dickies is that, once you’ve heard a little, you’ve heard a lot. Their cover of the Banana Splits theme song is everything you need to know about this band. Throw in a speed punk cover of a classic rock song, in this case “Communication Breakdown” and you’ve got some classic Dickies. This isn’t an album, it’s an EP masquerading as an album. It’s short, sweet and gets out before it loses me.
After The Incredibly Shrinking Dickies and Dawn of the Dickies, which both promised goofiness from their titles & covers I would’ve expected something more aggressively sinister or sardonic from Stukas Over Disneyland. This is more of the same. They do what they do, they do it very well, they move on.
