THE DOPES

About Me

"This is the band that's gonna make rock n roll cool again" - John Waters!

Who are we? We're THE DOPES The band that only knows how to play New York rock n roll. . We've had some pretty amazing shit happen to us...like being the only band not signed to a major label included in the rock n roll hall of fame museum in cleveland, we are sandwiched between Iggy Pop and David Bowie.....oh yeah and directly across from Janis Joplin's Porche. we got to punch the shit out of each other at a packed nassau colliseum with Dr. Judy Kuriansky. We've gotten to record with some pretty amazing people like Kramer (Shimmy Disc), Martin Bisi (sonic youth), Roger Greenawalt (the pierces) , Andrew Bertrand Right now were working with Andrew on finishing a new ep that we'll get that out soon. First single from it is about the best NYC rock club since CBGB's in the 70's...SQUEEZEBOX...its called "SPRING & GREENWICH".You can now get our first cd "Dawn of the Dopes" on iTunes (features "Why Can't" & "Copsucka".
