Member Since: 18/04/2006
Band Members: Daryl Roddick-Guitar/Voice ,who started out founding the N. Wales band Dive, which later metamorphasised into Whitewash. Then came a stint of playing guitar for Alien Matter, before moving to Brighton to work with many top artists/musicians as a session musician, whilst also founding the Deadlight Spiral, playing many local gigs. He then relocated to Leicester, re-forming TDS with new members, and starting to play serious gigs across the country. Now, re-locating back to the Nothwest area, he has an awe inspiring line up, which is evident in the current achievements. They are;
Rob Loughlin-Bass , who began in the North Wales band, the Aryldytes. He then founded the Dead Bishops, also playing bass briefly for Alien Matter, before joining top North Wales band, Skunkfish. He has enjoyed extensive gigging before, and with TDS, and is renowned for being a great bass player, and eccentric fetish model!
Al Matthews-Drums , who has the most experience out of the 3 of us, beginning by fronting what can only be described as a movement, as well as music, the phenomenon that was the infamous 4Q, you do the research! He then went on to drum for Franks Dad, Sons of Selina, Alien Matter, and the Affliction all of which enjoyed much success. Alan is an extremely skilled and accomplished drummer/vocalist, and also is very much renowned for this, as well as owning his own Studio/rehearsal room, and restaurant, and many other ventures.
Influences: Queens of the Stone Age, Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac, Shellac, Black Keys, Killing Joke, the Dead Kennedys, Mark Lanegan Band, Tom Waits, Pearl Jam, Django Rhinehardt, the Screaming Trees, Pavement, Dinosaur jr, Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band, Kyuss, Leadbelly, Lee Scrath Perry, Prince, Portishead, Dick Dale and the Del Tones, Frank Zappa, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Frank Black, The Liars, Soundgarden, Primus, Mudhoney, Sonic Youth, Rocket From the Crypt, Rage Against the Machine, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, the Smashing Pumpkins, Early (sub-pop) Rapture, The Doors, Devandra Banheart, PJ Harvey, Nirvana, to name a few. A Post Modern anti-climax in the endless wait we call fate.
Sounds Like: Ground down, dirging grinding swirling stoner rock, heavy swing, psychadelia, with a twist if lemon. Melodic, melancholic, lizardous, hypnotic, ambient, unorthadox, noxious, obsessive-compulsive, senile-dimensia. Hell yes.
