The Dwarves are Rock Legends. Birthed in the garage rock revival of the 1980’s over 30 years ago they continue to confound and confront audiences all over the world with searing live shows and masterful new records.
Coming to prominence as one of Sub/Pop’s first signings The Dwarves reputation for live madness earned the fear and loathing of grunge era crowds and the shock and awe of their peers. Between 1988-92 they performed live with many of the most popular bands of the era including Nirvana, Green Day and the Offspring to name just a few.
A band with a no nonsense punk rock approach and disturbing cover art helped to awaken a nation anesthetized by hair metal and cry baby flannel.
By the turn of the century the Dwarves had toured Europe and the US extensively and as well as Japan and Australia. Appearances on television and radio and dozens of song placements in film and TV solidified their legendary status.
With 2014 upon us, over 1200 shows under their belt and three decades of sickness to draw from, the Dwarves continue their assault on good taste with “THE DWARVES INVENTED ROCK ‘N’ ROLL” (Recess/Greedy). The relentless middle finger drive, catchy songwriting and deft production that set The Dwarves apart have never sounded better. And let’s face it, there’s only one punk band left that matters, so catch them soon at a theater, nightclub or crackhouse near you!
