Happy Birthday (21^st December) to the late, great Frank Vincent Zappa who would be celebrating his 71^st birthday today had he not lost his footing on the precarious bridge of life. Continue reading “Dancin’ Fool” →

Dazzle Rebel 2011 Photo Album

Sat, 17 Dec, 2011Wed, 5 Jan, 2022 Darren Deadbeat

Some photos from the year I went solo; the year of our Lord Two Thousand and Eleven. A year that will be remembered for riots, riots and more riots. A year that Libya, Egypt and Tunisia sack their government and the country of South Sedan is formed. A year of Royal Weddings, increasing debts and the killing of Osama bin Laden. A year that the 99% decided to ‘Occupy’ city centres and business districts and all bar the 1% (that are actually more like the 0.001%) had a frugal Christmas. And of course that I released my debut EP “Skint… …and Dangerous”.

The Father of Invention

Eighteen years ago today (4^th December) Frank Zappa left for his final tour. He left behind his fantastically named offspring, a wonderfully vast discography and a multifarious ensemble of discerning artists who were influenced by his music. The metaphorical Prog Rock flag at Dazzle Rebel’s Rock’n’Roll Embassy is flying at half-mast today in honour of such a genius maverick.

Fringe Rock!

Wed, 16 Jul, 2008Wed, 5 Jan, 2022 Darren Deadbeat

Hey! Thanks for stopping by. I’m really excited to announce that I’ve been working on brand new music that should be available very soon. It’s kinda a bit Southern Rock mixed with old-school British Pub Rock! Yeah, totally out of fashion but totally where my tastes are right now. I like the anti-fashion vibe (part of the reason that I left Red Star Rebels last year was I didn’t like the new musical direction that was starting to chase music trends).

If you head to my MySpace page you’ll see that I’ve posted a handful of demos under an album I’ve called Fringe Rock!

Fringe Rock! – Track Listing:

Bad Ass Motherf*cker
98.9
Your Heart is a Combustion Engine (and it’s spitting flames)
Ace Cafe Grind
Kiss of Life

What’s in the name “Fringe Rock!”?

Well, as you’ll hear the music doesn’t sit very well in any defined genre of music. It’s rock music on the edge of mainstream, “fringe rock” if you will!

I’d love to know what you think of the new music. Hopefully, I’ll be getting a band together soon (if you or anyone you know is looking for a band, please get in touch)!
