LineUp

The Dictators

2 concerts

Formed in 1973 in NYC, the Dictators were a pioneering proto-punk band known for loud, fast rock influenced by '60s American garage rock and British Invasion pop. Fronted by Handsome Dick Manitoba and featuring Scott Kempner and Ross "the Boss" Funichello, they released iconic albums like "The Dictators Go Girl Crazy!" Despite mixed critical response and label issues, they influenced punk and hard rock. Members pursued solo paths, but the band reunited occasionally, notably releasing "D.F.F.D" in 2001. They're celebrated for their fusion of hard rock and punk snark.
