Great news for my hometown Geelong 🤘 the bowls we once (some still do!) skated have become a listed area! Check out the action and head down yourself @ link + bio
Dez Dare is Darren Smallman, label owner, music marketing guru, audio visual artist, booking agent and for this interview indie rock musician. Darren grew up in Australia and was influenced by the 90’s punk scene during which time he was heavily involved in bands. He found his way to Brighton in the early 2020’s, setting up a studio and producing music and videos. He has just released his latest album, “These Days Are Wild & Blind” and I thought it was time to delve into his over-stimulated mind…

"At a time when much of indie rock is drifting toward reverb-drenched melancholy or algorithm-friendly mush, Dez Dare is a welcome jolt of clarity. His music points out that punk rock music can still be smart, noise can still be meaningful, and absurdity can still be art. He makes records that feel like manifestos written in neon, sung through a bullhorn, blasted through fuzz pedals and synth wires... Dez Dare proves once again that he is one of the most interesting, inventive, and important voices in underground rock today." Thoughts Words Action
"Dare raves his way through his latest batch of new brain tilting songs - each pumping with frantic Casio keyboard induced rhythm and burning psychedelic guitar soloing. Completely nuts boy pop from a true master that has been nurtured over the years from overdosing on Devo, The Tubes and perhaps a shot of R Stevie Moore... Dez Dare's ambition to "not be like everyone else" takes a step closer to being fulfilled." The Wire: Adventures In Modern Music
"Dez Dare blends squalid punk sounds with aspects of brown acid psychedelia, building into something uniquely wild and colourful. The Australian psych-punk legend is a true underground hero" Clash Magazine

Two months to go until the @sha_rivari : Doormat’ single launch at @leithdepot138 . Stoked to announce the first support for the night 💥
Psych Electro Punk @dezdareriffs will be coming all the way from Brighton for this show 🚆
"dynamically armed with a ten-pronged set of lyrical barbs and musical hooks that, once heard, sink deep and hold fast”-The Wire
Dez Dare and Sha Rivari & The Maybes toured together last summer and the final show saw them perform at Leith Depot. Dez killed it with a banging set at that show and we are excited to see him perform once again. He’s even got a whole new album out next month ✨️
Also the two acts had a rather lovely time together and tour and it seems only fitting for them to reunite for what is sure to be a wonderful eve.
Check out the most recent Dez Dare tunes over on his bandcamp, YouTube etc.
Adv tickets available via the links in the Sha Rivari and Fuzz Bat Bios.
