Danny Dean

Danny Dean (Danny Dean Phillips, Danny Phillips) is an American musician, singer- songwriter, guitarist, and record producer. He is best known as the lead vocalist, principal songwriter, and guitarist of the hardcore punk band Anti and DIY punk label New Underground Records, which Danny Dean co-founded with the late Gary Kail at the height of South Bay California's hardcore punk scene in the late 1970's.




He is also a guitarist and bass guitarist for the avant-garde band Mood of Defiance pioneering the 2nd generation of punk. Danny Dean achieved commercial success at the golden age of MTV with a plethora of music videos and nationwide radio rotation to the likes of California's KROQ and 91X, with his post-punk band Easter, notorious for lineup changes that regularly featured Mike Ness early Social Distortion and a late Brent Liles early Social Distortion and post-Easter Agent Orange fame.

He is eminent for instigating Neo-Rockabilly with his band Danny Dean and the Homewreckers and his modern 80's twist on vintage rock and roll throughout the Pre-Nascent Rockabilly Revival and the Neo-Swing Revival, opening up for and touring with established acts like The Specials, English Beat, Big Bad Voodo Daddy, Lee Rocker of the Stray Cats, a Flock of Seagulls, Missing Persons, Berlin, Dramarama, the Blasters, Reverend Horton Heat, Real Life, and the General Public to name a few.

But even in those earlier years, Dean received plenty of exposure to the ’70s and ' 80s roots revival through James Intveld, Jimmy & The Mustangs, Levi Dexter, and The Orangutangs. “I was really impressed with the rockabilly scene. Everyone dressed so damn good. It was all about Americana: music, clothing and cars.” According to Dean, “Early punk had a definite rockabilly influence. It borrowed heavily from rockabilly’s rebellious attitude and music. Just listen to the Sex Pistol’s covers of Cochran and Berry tunes. In fact, everything I have ever played has had a rockabilly undertone, but now I’ve decided to get back to my roots proper.”


Currently Danny Dean is involved in many band projects between touring with some pretty big acts he has also opened a chain of analog recording studios from New York to California.

The Sharks

The Sharks were formed in the late 1970's by guitarist Alan Wilson and were initially a 50's style Rockabilly band. A line up change in 1982 brought in Steve Whitehouse on slap bass and Paul 'Hodge' Hodges on drums. Within 2 weeks the trio had not only written and recorded their first album,but had also signed to Nervous records - a new label that was spearheading the Neo-Rockabilly movement.

Their first release was titled Phantom Rockers (1983) - an album that even now still sells well. This album has been licensed to several other companies and released in many formats including coloured vinyl and CD. Within a few months of the release the band split after a trip to Holland where they were recorded live by KRO radio. Some of these tracks were subsequently released on the Nervous LP First and Last Live.

It would be 10 years before the Sharks would emerge again. Steve went on to form Frenzy whilst Alan set about a career in sound engineering and producing. These days he runs Western Star, his own recording studio.

In 1993 Alan was producing an album for The Frantic Flintstones when bass player Gary Day suggested that the Sharks would be well received should they ever reform. So, the Sharks started recording - using Gary on bass - and were snapped up by Cherry Red records who released the Sharks comeback CD on their Anagram label. Recreational Killer received critical acclaim and before long the Sharks were touring again, busier that ever and headlining festivals all over Europe and Scandinavia.

In 1995, due to touring and recording commitments with Morrissey, Gary was replaced by original bassist Steve Whitehouse, but not before the coloured vinyl 12" EP Bitch Attack was released by Vinyl Japan as well as a CD of demo recordings called Ruff Stuff was released by Rockhouse records. Alan and Hodge later worked with Gary Day on his solo project The Gazmen - which was released as a 12" EP on Vinyl Japan. The tracks also featured Morrissey's guitarist Alain Whyte and has recently surfaced as a CD on Rock It records of Hollywood.

Now that Steve was back, the Sharks again toured extensively, this time billed as the original line up. Anagram released the album Colour My Flesh and Fury records put out a 7" EP called Sir Psycho. There were other re-issues and odd releases along the way including picture discs and many, many compilation appearances.

Hodge was replaced on drums by Ben Cooper (ex Restless) in 1996 who was in turn replaced by Carl Parry (ex Frenzy guitarist) a few years later.

The Sharks decided to quite live performances in 2000, when Alan opted to concentrate to establishing and running his now successful studio and label Western Star (make this a link to www.western-star.co.uk). But demand for the Sharks just didn't go away. Step 1 records released The Ultimate Collection in 2010 which sold well and Alan & Steve frequently cropped up on the odd Western Star compilation together as The Sharks.

Then towards the end of 2010 Alan asked Hodge (who was by now living in Spain) to fly over to the UK to guest on a few tracks he had written. Steve then played bass on the songs and before he knew it, Alan had some brand new Sharks recordings. A 7 inch vinyl EP was released on Western Star which sold out it's first pressing in a month! Finally after 18 months, a brand new Sharks studio album was released, the first in 15 years or more. "Infamy" exceeded everyone's high expectations and sold fast, attracting glowing reviews. This led to the almost unthinkable happening.... In April 2012 The Sharks played live, the first show in over 12 years. The band headlined the massive Satanic Stomp festival in Germany, and went down a storm. Since this 'one off' show the band have been swamped with requests to play all over the world - everywhere from Russia to South America, but there is probably only one more date that the band will accept and that is a big show in LA in Oct 2012. So watch this space.....

Three Bop Pills - "Three Bop Boogie" Cd-demo

Que Curitiba é um celeiro de excelentes bandas e músicos todos nós já sabemos. De lá surgiram algumas das mais relevantes da cena brasileira nos últimos anos, inclusive com seus discos lançados e tournês também no Exterior, em sua maioria.

Three Bop Pills tem em sua formação um time de primeira mesmo: Ricardo ‘’Mutant Cox’’ ( Sick Sick Sinners / Hillbilly Rawhide ) na guitarra e vocal, Ademir Wisbeck ( Ovos Presley ) no violão e voz e Claudia Smith ( As Diabatz ) no baixo acústico. E com um time assim o jogo está mais que ganho, é claro. Músicos talentosos, versáteis e já veteranos em nossa cena reunidos em um projeto novo e sensacional !

O som é um Rockabilly com generosas doses de Country na medida certa, e cantando em alto e bom português, o que deu um charme e clima bem especial a banda. São seis músicas e todas excelentes: “Three Bop Boogie, ” Chame Papai”, “Tô No Bar”, “O Chazinho Da Vovó”, “Eu Não Ligo” e “O Tesouro da Família” em quase 16 minutos de música, que quando acaba, você já aperta o play novamente porque vai querer ouvir muitas vezes mais !!

Espero ver a banda ao vivo um dia desses. E também que eles gravem um disco em breve!
