i found these guys cd at the library and had never heard of them. they are f-ing amazing, awesome songs. definitly a music gem, if any one has footage of thier song "judy" that would be cool.
BBE and Bad Rep are prob. my top dB's songs... if I was forced to pick. Just simple, to-the-point -- if not quite complete in structure compared to most pop common songs -- perfection.
(A la Big Star's September Gurls... which I am trying to collect all covers of to make a "The Perfect Pop Song" compilation.)
The name has always caused confusion. I remember hearing an interview with Peter where he reeled off a list of various people's interpretations of what it means. I thought "Bunch of drunks" was the best.
Just saw their reunion show at the Cat's Cradle in Chapel Hill; NC on Friday night. I was hoping someone there might have posted some video here, or from last month's NYC reunion show...but alas. It was a great show...they were tight and having fun. Let's hope something comes out of it.
Saw the same show - great to have the dB's back! Looking forward to the new CD. Interesting note - Peter said they'd dropped the tuning a half step for the reunion shows. It showed - their vocals were far more relaxed than on recordings - sounded great!
You may have already seen some of the posts on their website, but a real who's who in the NC music scene were there (besides the one's introduced). I don't know them well enough visually to recognize them...lol
How I long to play that guitar solo, having slim luck making it out from the video though. Anyone else in the same boat or care to help?

RE: Judy video
Saw that a version exists the other day. Can't recall where. Try for a search 'Return to Comboland' ... I think that was it.

Love this band and the great memories they bring back. I also want to see/hear Black and White - one of my all time favorites. Pure pop bliss.

I find it interesting that they refer to themselves as "the D-B's" rather than "the Decibels", which is what I've always called them.
