Biography

(1992 – present)

There are at least six artists that use the name Dada: a ’90s USA rock band, an English dance artist named Matti Schwartz, a ’70s Japanese electronic band, and a short-lived Jazz-fusion band in 1970, MC/producer and Lithuanian rapper/

(1) Dada - USA rock band:

In 1992, Dada exploded on the scene with their critically acclaimed debut release Puzzle on Miles Copeland’s now defunct IRS Records. The single “Dizz Knee Land” set the alternative radio movement - just then hitting its stride - on fire, and quickly migrated to mainstream rock and pop stations. Puzzle sold over a half million copies and made a number of critics’ “best of year” lists. September 1994 saw the release of American Highway Flower which had a harder feel both musically and lyrically than its predecessor, reflecting the band’s evolution from a studio to a touring band.

Money problems at IRS cut short promotional efforts in February 1995. Dada fared no better commercially with their third release - El Subliminoso in April 1996 - than they had with earlier releases. IRS Records was on its last legs by this time, and folded just as the band was winding up the first leg of the album tour. The exquisite El Subliminoso was perhaps the group’s most artistically complex and satisfying offering.

    Nothing against other Dadas for sure, but the Japanese one is really fun. Sort of a mix of cheesy Tomita psychedelia with Devo-esque new wavisms.

    An old friend of mine introduced me to DADA and for the longest time I never realized Dizz Knee Land was by the same group.l It as always on the radio, but by far it is only scraping the the top of this bands talent. I do Love their work.

    Today I found an old mix tape that I made in 1993 for someone (or rather the case of it) and I wanted to recreate the mix as an iTunes playlist. I still had all the tracks except two. One is the acoustic version of Dizz Knee Land that was on that radio-only promo single (I worked in college radio from 90-93). I assume someone here has that? Can I pretty please get an mp3 (or similar) of that tune?
