Dikembe - Backbooth - Orlando Weekly
An indie punk band from Gainesville, Fla., Dikembe has proven admirably consistent in their excellent output, meaning it’s a surefire sign when you see them billed that the show is bound to be a good one. Last year, they released Chicago Bowls, which included four songs named for classic NBA stars from the Bulls’ past, dankened by weed references (like “Scottie Spliffen”), even though their band name recalls a former Rocket/Knick/Nugget/ basically every franchise but the Bulls. In addition to Bowls, the boys joined bands like Look Mexico and Pet Symmetry on splits and released a previously unheard early track for inclusion on a benefit comp. Basically, they’ve been busy, and their polished, angsty punk riffs are all the better for the constant activity. Bonus, if you buy tickets to this show, you get a discount on the next Norse Korea event, featuring post-hardcore band Old Gray. – Ashley Belanger
