About Me

slickdicks is the creative beast of burden partnered in 2004 by guitarist joseph claypond and bassist frank sumatra.
the group's repertoire reflects the combined individuality of each of it's members and is a compiled sketch of free verse, personal jokes, people and memories. their music is a celebration of life's idiosyncrasies, both serious and satirical. being a three-piece outfit (with the addition in 2005 of drummer bish basherson) gives the group an open soundscape for their tales of fictional pro/antagaonists, fantastic mis/adventures and modern day proverbs; each song individualized by vocal trade-offs between sumatra and claypond.
the group will be playing several shows in and around new york city through the middle of november 2006 when they will begin recording their first full length album. you can witness the process through myspace.com
