Artist History The Dope story is a tale full of sound and fury. New York City, circa late '90s, two brothers lived together in Brooklyn. Now these siblings had not grown up together - back in their home state of Florida, post-divorce, one lived in separate cities with each parent - but in their early 20's, they came together in New York to make music. They proved an ideal musical matchup,Edsel's metal and punk fueled edge combined with Simon's more precise and machine driven industrial background. All they needednow were "three other guys who had nothing else on this planet to live for but our band." In the fall of 1997, they stole those musicians - three frontmen no less - from other bands. Tripp, Preston, and Acey had all been leading their own bands, but cast off all other commitments to join Dope.
