Dadfag

Probably

Broken Rekids

Dadfag’s soaring and orchestral creations are the work of two guitarists (Eva Hannan, Danielle Benson) and one insane drummer (Alan Miknis). Since forming in 2008, the band has released a pair of albums, touring the States last year in support of their Broken Rekids LP, Scenic Abuse. Probably, their third full-length album, is yet another Lego in Dadfag’s growth as an amorphous yet sweetly desirable San Francisco staple. Recorded by Alex Yusimov at the Pool in Portland, Oregon, this eleven-song collection sounds like early Sonic Youth with punishing hardcore punk drums. Look for the three-piece touring the East Coast later this year. “Dadfag is more than a little reminiscent of Sonic Youth. Discordant, deliberately weird, intended to discomfit. Scenic Abuse feels kind of like a time capsule from another era. With vocals that at times are downright disturbing and occasionally creepy lyrics, it’s not exactly easy listening, but it is interesting. The occasional melodic similarity to 1960s girl band tunes is an unexpected element.” —The East Bay Express

Dadfag

Scenic Abuse

Broken Rekids

Dadfag are a blistering young San Francisco three-piece that has been kicking the West Coast's ass for a couple of years at house parties, warehouses, and clubs. The band members--two girls on vocals, a boy on drums--fled from the South, sweaty, bored, and sick of explaining themselves. The trio started practicing as Dadfag shortly thereafter in a borrowed practice space in San Francisco's Potrero Hill neighborhood. One year, 30 songs and 17,000 shows later, Eva Hannan, Alan Miknis, and Danielle Benson are still playing with dildos, baking pies, and making people uncomfortable. The Broken Rekids promotional department would like to mention that the music and vocals are reminiscent of Sonic Youth and Lydia Lunch mixed with hardcore punk. Dadfag's world tour is in the works--but in the meantime, they are touring the West Coast in September. Scenic Abuse is their debut CD; vinyl version to follow in January.  FALL 2009 WEST COAST TOUR DATES 9/10 * Oakland, CA 9/13 * San Luis Obispo, CA 9/14 * Los Angeles, CA 9/15 * Riverside, CA 9/16 * San Diego, CA 9/17 * Bakersfield, CA 9/18 * Davis, CA 9/19 * Sacramento, CA 9/20 * Arcata, CA 9/21 * Crescent City, CA 9/22 * Eugene, OR 9/23 * Portland, OR 9/24 * Olympia, WA 9/25 * Seattle, WA 9/26 * Portland, OR 9/27 * Eureka, CA
