The Dils
Band, 1977-1980 US, Carlsbad, California
Alternative
Once labelled as "California's The Clash", The Dils were part of the very first wave of the L.A. punk scene. They formed in Carlsbad in San Diego County before moving first to San Francisco - where bassist Tony Kinman was briefly in The Avengers - then to L.A. In 1977 What? Records released their debut 7" "I Hate The Rich / You're Not Blank". After a two year gap, Chip and Tony Kinman, who were the axis of the trio, returned with a three-sided EP, Made In Canada, which was a far more melodic affair, offering hints at their future as country-punk band Rank & File. They split up in 1980. The Dils line-ups: Jeffrey Scott - lead vocals Josef Marc - drums Tony Kinman - bass Chip Kinman - lead guitar Chip Kinman - guitar, vocals Tony Kinman - bass, vocals Andre Alqover - drums Chip Kinman - guitar, vocals Tony Kinman - bass, vocals Rand McNally - drums Tony Kinman - bass, vocals Chip Kinman - guitar, vocals Bill Chobotar AKA Zippy Pinhead - drums Chip Kinman - vocals, guitar Tony Kinman - vocals, bass John Silvers - drums
