Americana UK interview

The writer Andrew Frolish recently released an interview with Jerry Joseph at the Americana-UK.com website where he talks to Joseph about his new album & collaborations where the Dimpkers are mentioned more than once. Really long piece to read but we have taken out the “best parts” where the Dimpkers are mentioned below, and here you can read the full interview.

– “I’ve been playing with these guys from Sweden, The Dimpker Brothers – Martin plays a kick drum and guitar, and Adam plays electric and bass pedals. I brought them over to the US for a tour, just the three of us, and people thought it was the most fucking amazing thing ever, especially their voices”, says Jerry.

– I met the Dimpker Brothers as an opening act with Our Man in the Field on a Swedish tour. Alex from Our Man in the Field said, “Hey, these guys just want to get up and play with you.” And I’m like, “Yeah, okay, sure.” At first, with the kick drum and bass pedals, I thought it’d sound like some fucking Holiday Inn band, you know? It was Stockholm or somewhere, and I figured that I should be good. But they got up there, and holy shit – they were good. I always tell my band, “Don’t fuck up,” and I told these poor guys the same thing, but they nailed it. They were so good and so sweet, and then my family stayed with them later.  I just love them, and we became family. There’s really something when we play as a trio. I’m kind of this angry ball in the middle, and they’re on either side of me, singing like angels. It’s incredible. They were in town because we were writing this record we were supposed to do together”, says Jerry.
