For those of you who are into the current rockabilly scene, you may know the guitar player of the Go-Nuts as Deke Dickerson (of Deke Dickerson and Eccofonics and Dave and Deke combo)... Here is more from Deke's website (www.eccofonic.com): The Go-Nuts are yet another one of Deke's many side projects. Known as "The World’s Greatest Snak-Rock Superhero and Gorilla Entertainment Revue"™, they have been wowing audiences with their unique brand of "snak-rock"™ since 1995! The Go-Nuts are four superheroes: Kap’n Korn-nut, the Donut Prince (who bears an uncanny resemblance to...), the Donut Hole and the Korn Dogg, who along with their go-go gorillas (Madison and Dolly) attempt to make the world "safe for snacking" through the message in their music. The Go-Nuts' live show is legendary. Their audiences are wowed not only by their dynamic "Snak Rock-ing"™ musical style, but also by their various launch devices. The "Snak Storm"™ and "Snak Cannon"™ shoot snack foods such as pie, whipped cream, corn chips, cereal, powdered sugar, and Choco-diles into the audience. Although this has been widely well-received by Go-Nuts fans, the band's relentless pursuit of its mission has led to the Go-Nuts being banned from most clubs in California. On one memorable occasion at the House of Blues in Hollywood, the soundman engaged in a fistfight with one of the gorillas onstage while the band was playing. The fracas ended with a cream pie in his face. The Go-Nuts now have a 50-foot restraining order placed on them by the House of Blues. So far the Go-Nuts have released several 45 singles and two CDs. Their blockbuster new release DUNK AND COVER! is now available on Lookout Records. The Go-Nuts have been #2 on the Rolling Stone indie charts...they have been optioned for a film production...and they have been courted by the Creative Artists Agency (the largest talent agency in the world) for a Saturday morning cartoon show! Just as the Go-Nuts themselves grow bigger from their copious intake of snacks, so does the Go-Nuts name continue to grow in fortune and reputation.
