The soundtrack of my youth was provided by the Dirty Rotten Imbeciles and Metallica. D.R.I.'s Dealing With It and Four of a Kind would wind me up before heading out to cause a ruckus in little ol' Ogden, Utah.I recall moanin' to whomever would listen about movie soundtracks. Sure we had the Repo Man soundtrack, but most soundtracks were just corporate schlock. Always a lover of film, I vowed if I ever had the opportunity to make films, I would use bands like D.R.I. in my movies. Little did I know, this dream would come true.
Figuring out what music to get for a film is critical. For the most part, dealing with record labels is a pain in the ass and costs a lot of dough. I decided to say 'Fuck it' and just shoot D.R.I. an email via myspace. Two weeks later, I received a message from Spike - the founder of D.R.I. who was cool and supportive and allowed us to use "Reaganomics" on our little film.
Now, tonight, I get to go thank the man in person. After twenty-five years, D.R.I. still kills it and, once again, I get to witness their madness live tonight at El Corazon.
For all you Seattle heads, get out and support one of the great punk/thrash bands of all time! Don't take these guys for granted. This is a must see opportunity!
