Biography
Underground avant-garde alternative rock band of the 1980s and 1990s. Originally based in Amherst, Massachusetts at Hampshire College, and at times also based in New York City, Seattle and Los Angeles. Arose in the same college musical scene that gave birth to Dinosaur Jr and also associated with the early grunge movement, especially the Seattle grunge bands including Nirvana. Known for four albums, very noisy concerts and band members’ disputatious and disruptive attitude.
In 1988 the Supreme Dicks began to appear in New York clubs, like CBGB and The Knitting Factory. Their first New York show was at CBGB in July of 1988. They appeared on the bill as Dinosaur Jr, claiming to be that other band, on request of its own leader, Jay Mascis, who did not want to do a show that night. They were told that Hilly Kristal would never allow them in CBGB again, but this would prove untrue as the band developed a following of its own. Late 80’s lineup became the core group for most of their tours and albums.
* Jon Shere - guitar, vocals.
* Daniel Oxenberg - guitar, vocals.
* Steven Shavel - vocals, slide guitar, theremin.
* Mark Hanson - drums, vocals.
The band has flirted with various religions including Pentacostalism, Buddhism, Gnosticism, Judaism, the Medieval Knights Templar, and the Hare Krishna movement. Also known for their vows of celibacy and vegetarianism.
