Your Fix of the Dix March 29, 2005 |
People
often ask “who are The
Dix?” These charismatic young
men hail from soulful Compton, New York, home
of the infamous “Booty Clap”.
The Dix came onto the scene in 1957 as
The Bangkoks with original members
Orgynius, Peter
O’Tool, Tro
John, and John
Handcock. The Bangkoks boasted a top
ten hit called “Love Biscuit”
which was the anthem of every blue lighted
house party in 1962. The Bangkoks reassembled
as the Dix in 1965 with the addition of new
group members Dik Gracin
and the Jonsun Brothers
thus creating a brand new sound that could
only be described as “Orgasmic”.
The Dix do more than just hit the spot, their
cataclysmic rhythms and harmonies combined
with their explosive dance moves makes The
Dix one of the best groups to grace the recording
industry. Almost 40 years after the tragic
break up of The Dix, hip-hop pioneer and musicologist
Prince Paul (De
La Soul, Handsome
Boy Modeling School) unearths The Dix
lost recording The
Art of Picking Up Women via Mr.
Len’s Smacks
Records.
The Art Of Picking Up Women includes
the sexy and tantalizing hit songs “Here
Come The Dix” , “Tears In My Eyes
(Dirty Girl)”, and “I Luv U Girl”.
As well, the CD also includes the retrospective
DVD “The Rise
And Fall Of The Dix” with exclusive
interviews and concert footage. Best believe,
The Dix are back to give the biggest bang
of their life… and yours too!
