The Dacios

about

THE DACIOS are a high-octane, lysergic, nitrous sucking rock n’ roll beast. Like a reprobate Phoenix exploding from the ashes of legendary Tasmanian band Little Ugly Girls, THE DACIOS first erupted on local stages in 2005. Their first dangerously flammable line-up boasted Linda J (Little Ugly Girls) on larynx/guitar; Bean (Little Ugly Girls, Keith’s Yard) on guitar/back-ups; and Pops on traps. Permanently stimulated by a synapse twisting brew of rock n’ roll sour mash, THE DACIOS are esteemed for their white-heat live performances (now featuring Gus – Brian Hooper Band – on drums) and Kim Volkman (from Australian post-punk legends X) on bass. They’ve recently revved up rooms for Eddy Current Suppression Ring (album launch); Deniz Tek’s Visitors; Legends of Motorsport; Ninety Nine; The Stabs; Flipper and Witch Hats. They also helped RRR celebrate its 30th birthday bash in typically debauched style. But there’s more to THE DACIOS than just the brain pulverising roar of a supercharged V12 running full throttle through a nuclear junkyard. Linda J’s lyrical concoctions constitute a highly virulent poetic serum which she expectorates in heaving torrents against the increasingly claustrophobic forces of urban banality. Her unflinching psychic insights wrench the cancerous lesions of modern life into the glare and splay love’s ordeals on a dissection table like so many toads, their entrails pullulating with rheumy ooze. So, if you’re impatient to slake yourself with this incendiary
