About Me

Will success spoil the mighty DINKY DRUMS ???
It’s alright but it’s all wrong – after a 12 month self-indulgent recording marathon (with a cast of dozens), the mighty DINKY DRUMS are finally down to mixing their new release „FAT CITY, LET’S GO!“ !!! Hot on the trail of their self-titled debut „DINKY DRUMS“ (feat „That’s All It Took“) from 2006, Bo Dinky, Guenner, Wolle and former WIZO-drumhero Thomas Guhl have recorded five of their original songs, and if you have heard the rough mixes you won’t be the same person EVER again...
Still, it will take „the laziest band in showbiz“ (Harry Dean Stanton) some time to prepare the release – if you’re interested in playing our songs on your radio programme & in releasing some of our stuff on compilation albums PLEASE let us know...
Meanwhile, „DINKY DRUMS“ is still available via the bands own MP3-Store (CD’s Sold-Out, sorry!).
