For fans of The Dictators, New York Dolls, MC5 and Punk Rock! Considering that the first Dictators album came out in 1975, scads of credit is due these hearty pre-punk New Yorkers for blazing a long trail, melding the essentials of junk culture--wrestling, fast food, TV, beer, dope, cars, scandal sheets--with loud/hard/fast rock'n'roll and thus creating an archetype that has been adopted and adapted by countless other bands. Originally formed as an homage/response to the MC5, Flamin Groovies, New York Dolls and the Stooges, the Dictators wound up playing a similarly crucial and inspirational role to the generations that followed them. Produced by the Sandy Pearlman/Murray Krugman team responsible for the Blue Õyster Cult, The Dictators Go Girl Crazy! is a wickedly funny, brilliantly played and hopelessly naïve masterpiece of self-indulgent smartass rock'n'roll, pre-indie-rock proof that regular kids could make the major-label record. Now the Dictators are back with original members Andy Shernoff and Ross “The Boss” Friedman along with former Blue Õyster Cult drummer Albert Bouchard and Frankenstein 3000 guitarist/vocalist Keith Roth. They have already wowed fans with the new singles “Let’s Put The Band Back Together” and “Thank You And Have A Nice Day” and are ready to continue their 50 year legacy as one of the greatest pre-punk bands ever.
