MJ Events: DEAD BOB & DIM PROSPECTS on 14.10.26 at Chelsea ViennaDead Bob is the solo incarnation of John Wright, drummer of long time and apparently legendary, but now retired, Canadian punk band No Means No (NMN). Wright has spent 50 years drumming, 45 years songwriting, 30 years touring, three years helping robots play punk rock, 30 years brewing, and a lifetime playing music – in more bands than you can count on one hand.
Currently practicing drums, working on the next two albums and having a beer, Wright is not planning on slowing down any time soon. The material on "Life Like” spans decades and there's lots more in the vault. The album was recorded and produced by Wright in the wilds of British Columbia and while he primarily wrote and performed it himself, he can't take all of the credit, having engaged the help of several friends inclding Byron Slack (Invasives), Kristy Lee Audette (Rong), Ford Pier (Ford Pier and the Vengeance Trio, DOA, Roots Round up, Junior Gone Wild, Rheostatics), Selina Martin, his son Aidan Wright, as well as two old collaborations with his brother Rob in the writer’s chair.
As might be expected, the songs roll out cohesively but defy the cookie cutter pigeon holes, hence "Genre" is a tough one to convey but one thing that is not unclear is it is not to be listened to quietly! We aim to make sure you hear it all good and loud!

DIM PROSPECTS
Punk? Punk! Hardcore? Hardcore! Egal! DIM PROSPECTS aus Wien spielen hard- und heart- hitting Punk mit einer Schwäche für schöne Melodien. Die Einflüsse liegen irgendwo zwischen diversen, hochverehrten Hamburger „Schiffen“ Releases und Bands wie Leatherface, Iron Chic oder Hüsker Dü. Und die vielen früheren Bands (Target of Demand, Artificial Pesticides, Knallkopf; Radikalkur, Cyruss, Those who survived the Plague, Brambilla, Grant (Royal), Saloonies…), in denen vor Dim Prospects gespielt wurde, blitzen natürlich auch immer wieder mal durch.
"Mit „Abscheu und Neugier“ kommt das wohl beste Deutschpunk Album 2025 aus Österreich. Die DIM PROSPECTS glänzen mit klugen, scharfen Texten, großartigem Songwriting und einem beachtlichen Gespür für Melodie. Ganz, ganz schwere Empfehlung". (David Zuser, earshot.at)
