DNR

About Me

MyGen Profile Generator"Deep among the smoking ruins of Rock 'n' Roll City something stirred..."
Mid-life crisis motivated, souped-up rock 'n' roll/ punk / garage 5-piece determined to make the most of our few remaining years of mobility and pre-senility lucidity.
Two former VD members, three former Dodos and one permanently on loan from Garibaldi and a retired Hedge Monkey. Rum old bunch. Musical Philosophy: "If we don't balls it up we ain't done it right!"
Mostly we do old punk covers and some of our own minor modern classics!.

It's been emotional

A fitting end to things for DNR on Friday at the Nelson. After so many mental nights up there it seemed appropriate to finish up at our 'spiritual home'. There was a great turn out, tempered quite a b...

Who's a mug?

We had a ball at the Boar's Head in Shrewsbury on Sunday. A bit odd, being an afternoon kick off and none of us really felt like it. Big Al had to borrow a van after his exhaust fell off so that didn'...

Getting the horn in Wales

Honesty pays! At the Buck in Newtown on Friday John informed the landlord about our unfortunate habit of 'borrowing' souvenirs from venues. Rather than risk losing anything he liked he handed over som...

There's something here missing

Last ever gig for us at the Fringe (minge) festival at the Bull in Lugla last night. The set up was completely half-arsed if that's possible. No marquee, the stage only half covered and no lighting. C...

Tumbleweed at the Tuns

It was back to the 3 Tuns in BC on Saturday (for the last DNR visit?). I think they've gone off us. No bugger showed up! There was a 'do' on at Bicton Barn down the road in Clun but that alone doesn't...

Bloated Toads and Pig Scrape By in Kettering

A long (for us) jaunt down to Northants on Saturday to play at the Band Club in Burton Latimer for Mad Mick. Great fun day out but some of the magic ingredient was missing from the performance. John s...

Blitzkreig Sloth - HE'S A BABY

Big thanks to the lads for playing (Fred and Di's) Joe's 21st birthday party last night. The average age of the abnd was reduced considerably by a cameo from 15 year old Sean Cook on 'Sheena'.  Nice o...

A piss up in a brewery!

Despite our numerous (not to mention fucking massive) reservations the gig in the railway shed at the Ludlow Brewery went down a storm. BIG thanks to Jon Squire, a hero from our youth, who learned 18 ...

playing punk covers is like making love to a beautiful woman

Rob the brewers 40th in a field at Woofferton at the weekend was a proper crack.  Great spot that felt like the middle of nowhere even though it's just 5 minutes from town.  With Marc on family duty w...

gone fishing - doing a 'Bing'

Bloody strap up - what a brilliant night out last night at Docklow Pools. We didn't have a clue what to expect and on the way over felt like it was a job that needed doing. How wrong can you be. Turne...
