Turning your plans right on their heads.

About Me

The Video Nasties started around the end of 2007 in East Mesa, Arizona. They are a rockabilly punk garage style band with a kick of political fire. It all started after a series of typical bull shit moments that most poor kids growing up in the U.S. have to deal with, but not enough of them have enough artistic talent to express it musically.
On lead Vocals we have front man Dally Dirtnap born and raised in Mesa, AZ. He seems to have been ripped out of his mother’s birth canal about 50 years to late, but manages to adjust with his keen sense of 50’s flavor mixed with a dash of 70’s punk rock. Dally has enough energy to put Wisconsin Electric Power Co. out of business.
Cat Man Oblivion born and raised in the fiery pits of Beelzebub’s outhouse (Mesa, AZ) is the lead guitarist and back up vocals for the Nasties. For the amount of musical talent and face melting guitar riffs, he adds double the character to the band. He brings tears of joy as well as pain to even the strongest hearted.
Sick Dick Gonzo is the sassy Mexican bassist for the band with a voice that could kill an angel; although he refrains from using those sweet chords unless he really wants the make a song golden. Sick Dick is an Atheist that will surely burn in hell for all of his sins, but its ok cause who really likes that Jesus character anyways. And not to mention he will be able to hang with Bernie Mac while he’s down there.
Devilyn Bevz is a first generation Mexican Drummer who love’s her some Quantum Physics, and it shows in her percussion skills. She is the pretty little girl in the background hiding behind her drums, but when she starts pounding on those things she even drives the girls in the crowd wild. But you better watch out cause as nice as she is don’t think you can push her around cause if you do, you’ll find your self in a shallow grave.
The Video Nasties bring a sense of hope back to the scene in Arizona and hopfeully if they do nothing else then maybe they will spark something inside the souls of the kids today and we can look forward into the future and maybe see a brighter one, not only for music but for society. STOP SHERIFF JOE ARPAIO NOW!
