Artist description Completely improvised! You'll find sloppiness and mistakes because the songs were recorded spontanously--on the spot. Instruments were distributed to people (whether they knew how to play that insrtument or not) and the "RECORD" button is pressed. Usually the results were hideous.s

Music Style Improvisational, spontaneous, quirky, often humorous, and sometimes even inspired.

Musical Influences John S. Hall (King Missile), The Fall, Einsturzende Neubauten, Dead Kennedys.

Similar Artists At its best, DAGS is completely inimitable. If hard pressed, one could say there's some resemblance to King Missile, the Fall, Royal Trux, & Ween.
