About Me

- Contact Joe Basicks Myspace Page for the Basicks Shows, info, press, and music.
-Formed in 94' out of the deep swamps of south florida, a rock n roll power pop trio emersed in punk roots. As if Chuck Berry had a love affair with the Ramones, after one too many jack on the rock's. Now based outof Williamsburg Brooklyn, guitars and vocals joe basick, chris callous, and drummer raul rubiera. Have brought it from the south with a d.i.y approach, we want it all we want it now mentality. Song's like Take a ride,new york city and a thousand reason's(Located onthier self released basicks brewed in the u.s.a.) With songs of chaos,love,and triumphing over the odds. Leading to an e.p. released on Lookout record's in 99', properly titled Little Thing. Song's refecting the subject's on loyalty and addiction. Sharing gigs with the likes of The Lillingtons, Teen idols, Sloppyseconds, Groovie Ghoulies and Markie Ramone & the Intruders too name a few. After a cross country tour in 99 in support of thier lookout release, the Basick's returned to the dead end bottom ofthe boot heel,that is south florida. In debt and disenchanted the band went into hiatus only to emerge stronger, wiser, and tougher. As the completed thier pilgrimage to new york city. end act II.Be there at the show.
