Dumpsters and Greasetraps

we’re that band you never heard of, but the one you can’t wait to see

We’ve been required ( by more than a few lawsuits ) to clarify that our song “She’s always on her knees” is about an unnamed girl attending Mass and most decidedly NOT about : Melinda, Susan, Phoebe , Cindy or Theresa giving the boys a blow.

Here’s the reason we stopped covering songs.

And yes, we’ll finally let everyone know the true story of the James Taylor / Carly Simon incident.

[Dumpsters and Greasetraps @DumpstersG]

D&G is announcing, because it’s in the contract, that @m1h67 is now working on the only “authorized” biography of the band.

Aside: Of course our 1979 hit “ Kicked In Kansas “ is an allusion to the events of that summer

[Dumpsters and Greasetraps @DumpstersG]

Sorry, we were going to jump to the hook but we need to address the Wichita incident.
In June of 1978 we were scheduled to play at the Wichita River festival, it was supposed to kick off our summer tour that year

[Dumpsters and Greasetraps @DumpstersG]

Wichita in the summer of 78 was hot but oddly innocent. “Ripe” was how Dan put it.

“The best place to start any song is with a bass line that jumps to the hook,” Dan Thompson( in an interview with Rolling Stones, 1975).

Although we’re in a quasi reunion we do not plan to release any new material. All you’ll get from this Twitter thing is anecdotes , stories and bullshit from when we were young

[Dumpsters and Greasetraps @DumpstersG]

It’s been a while, some of us are gone, but those that remain are now again quasi reunited.
