Constant cajoling and poking fun at one another. I was flattered! But this is what it's like being an officer in the WRCC. As one of our regulars told me a couple of days ago - “Brian, it's only taken us 2 years to train you!”. I've learned a lot in this second year, and I think I have a better grasp of the job than before. It's been a very rewarding year, as was my first in 2018. #Scuttlebutt corner plus#For LMN readers who get our issue early, make sure you can catch DCR playing live at Third Street Dive on Tuesday, August 3, or you can hit the road for a little road trip on September 25 to Lafayette, Indiana and catch them playing at Downtown Records with The Vibrators.Īlso make sure you visit the Dead City Rejects on the web at where you can catch videos and mp3 downloads, plus a tour schedule for when they hit the road again.I'm finishing up my second term as your Commodore & Net Manager this month. Here at home, you can find these guys at Third Street Dive, Uncle Pleasants or Headliners on occasional nights. On the touring front, DCR has shared the stage with My Chemical Romance, Floggin Molly, Murphy's Law, U.S. They also have a live album recorded in 2003 at New York's infamous and now defunct punk haven, CBGB's.

However, over the years and through the ever-changing lineup, they have also been no strangers to success in the independent music scene.

King, formerly of Indigent Few and Speed Kills(also with Starkey) is DCR's apparently fearless spokesperson, as he and Starkey were the only two who showed up to this interview. The guts of The Rejects are long-term members Jeremy King, vocals and guitar and Brent Starkey, bass and backing vocals. They are enjoying a break from an aggressive touring campaign across the East Coast, while warming up to new guitarist, Bobby Olliges, formerly of Magnetic Flux and Cornbread Mafia. They are also hard to get in one place at the same time, unless they are playing in what has recently been a sporadic live performance schedule in and around Louisville. The members of Dead City Rejects, about one of Louisville's most recognizable punk bands, live the life they sing about. By Jason Ashcraft Dead City Rejects are Alive and Well.kind of.
