Texas transplant makes good in San Francisco,
By A Customer
This review is from: Sister Double Happiness (Audio CD)
A world ago in Austin,Tx, there was fabulous outfit known as the Dicks. Gary Floyd, their outspokenand highly flamboyant lead singer, was looked upon as a god among men. Priding himself as a little-boys feet loving communist, he carried the dicks throughout the early 80's punk movement in Austin. In a fortnight, the scene in Austin changed. The Big Boys seemed to go on endless tours. The Offenders broke up, and The dicks moved to San Francisco. The Big boys subsquently broke up upon returning to Austin. The dicks went through several line up changes before calling it quits for good in 1987. Lynn Perko (now in Imperial teen) was the drummer for the dicks at the time stayed with Gary Floyd to form Sister Double Happiness. The real cement in the group's line-up was the addition of Offenders bassist, Mikey Donaldson. Donaldson was locally admired in Austin for his lemmy-style bass licks and sheer power. The title track "sister double happiness" definetly shows Donaldson' power. Songs like "frieght train" "get drunk and die" and "cry like a baby" showcases Floyd's blues influenced vocals and just pure soul. Sister Double Happiness broke up in 1993 after several line up changes. Gary Floyd still reamins active in music and recently in 2000, did an impromteau late night reunion with the remaining members of the dicks at the SXSW festival. |
