I saw Dis- in 1994 at the 4-H hall in Beautiful Dubuque IA, w/Shellac. Suffice to say, Dis- made quite the impression on my young 15 year old self as I bought the Nicolae 7, the album (with the numbers) and a t-shirt.
It may be hard for some to believe, but, at least that night, Shellac had nothing on Dis-, they were, to put it mildly, fucking awesome.

Yeah, I think Dis- were fantastic...I have a couple of their records and a few 7"s I believe...very great stuff. Never saw them live though...

Ex-Chittle was great as well, I have a CD and a tape of them and it is very lovely.

Dis- was a great band. I was at the same Dubuque show Jeremy speaketh of. I was at the tender age of 14 at the time! My how time doth fly!

Shellac was quite good as they are prone to be and I enjoyed the opener, Brick Layer Cake, who I've seen once since then.

I remember Todd Trainer singing some new-wavey song with Dis- that night. Tubeway Army? I've always wondered what that was.

Sieracki, nice name, so Polish...
As Polish as Wodka Wyborowa is...

Hey Fuller....what ever happened to Peter Pollack? Didn't he drum for dis at some point? Hung out with him a few times in Champaign at which point he was drumming for Bale. He also played with Bitch Magnet after Orestes left if I remember correctly... Amazing drummer.

I don't know what became of Peter Pollack. If you hung out with him in Champaign, you're more up to date than I am. I haven't spoken with him in at least 10 years.

He could be pretty damned entertaining. He's quite a fine drummer as well.

Bland response I realize but that's all I have.

Also... like Fuller, I don't know what became of Peter.

Bump!

I got Historically Troubled Third album yesterday via Amazon.com. Its pretty awesome; theres really nothing wrong with it.

Does the singers voice remind anyone of the guy from Hum? This is not a bad thing.

I recall reading an interview with Steve from many years ago where he was asked to list current favorites and "Dis" was first. I wasn't sure if that was an actual band or a typo.... Glad this has been clarified now.

Dis were the best thing on the music scene in Milwaukee when i was in school there. Die Kreuzen too.

I used to see them at the Unicorn a lot.. Can't think of the names of the other places i used to see bands. Anyone recall?

Glad you guys are doing ok.
