the band of the future...

Chicago, Illinois, United States (2005 – present)

Dipstk are a 80's inspired American metal band formed in 2005 in Chicago when drummer Rick Legions posted an advertisement in Rocket Magazine. Dipstk’s line-up originally consisted of Legions, rhythm guitarist Filthy Freddie and vocalist Nick Thunder, and lead guitarist Rick Kirkland. Kirkland was later fired due to problems with alcoholism and drug addiction - he went on to form the band Tuff Money. Killjoy guitarist Kitt Ranger took his place. Dipstk has been through a few bassists, including, Cliff Bellows , and James Sawyer. The current bassist is Brett Haus, who joined in 2009.
