The Dacios

"...one of the highlights of the day came when Linda J, of the late little ugly girls, joined [the band] on stage for a primal unleashing of raw sexual power. Like a cross between Bon Scott and Lydia Lunch, Linda J has the presence and ability to lead a band to great things..." - -Patrick Donovan + Jo Roberts, The Age.Blistering and Riveting, primal relentless rhythms...searing, quaking, paint stripping emotion...the Dacios are a rabid kind of swampy blues meets country punk.Out of the ashes of the legendary little ugly girls, this sister/brother/brother trio boast a menacing modern sound in both their writing and live shows.This is punk in it's true sense: D.I.Y. SOUL.No lies here, friend.It's deadly conviction, it's real, and hell, is it fun.Only late last year, the Dacios became a 3 piece when 'Pops' was the last Dacio sibling to migrate north from Tasmania following his brother and sister to Melbourne. Bean and Linda J had been playing together as a 2 piece for about a year previous to that, themselves as the two main songwriters. You want me to fill you in on the even earlier story? The little ugly girls? Well, that sure is a whole 'nother tale, but just ask any self respecting music fan and you'll be sure to cop an excited earful...just don't say I didn't warn you...It's a freshness of style, a purity of intent, a precariousness of abandon...the experience of seeing the Dacios can make the blood snap in the veins, and has sure never failed to move this writer. There is also a depth of lyrical content that can be gauged even if you can't quite make out the words over the roar of the wall-of-noise drums and guitars.You can hear it, you can feel it and you can see it in the countenance of the band; a great depth and beauty within the composition and performance while never compromising a true love for real rock and roll.Surely it wouldn't work in lesser hands, but somehow, the Dacios stitch it.The Dacios debut album will be out soon through solar/sonar.
