Chapter 1:
Founded the summer of 2006, DTK members Greg Mallon, formerly of modern rock and metal band Buck-it,Marc
Dinsmore and Rick Frantz formerly of an 80's metal band Chaos, and former DTK Member Nick Forsyth, formerly of
Hardcore band Neocracy had a vision to play a mix of tunes that was unheard of and voided by the local scene at the
time. Mallon was craving to play the fun tunes of the 80s to present, Rick was craving the Metal Songs, Marc was
craving the ability to choose whatever songs that came to mind, and Nick was looking to go a more classic direction ,
way apart from his hardcore roots.
We debuted with a setlist from Ted Nuget, Georgia Satellites, New Kids on The Block, Stevie Wonder, an 80's hairband
medley to Janes Addiction, Smashing Pumpkins, Blink 182, Good Charlotte, Live , Sublime to Pantera, NIN, Tool, Rage,
Korn, and System Of a Down. We did not debut to the glory day crowds of Buck-it and Chaos, like we had hoped of
using our old names to gain some familiar faces in a hurry without paying our dues. The crowds were great, but nothing
like the previous years in comparison to sizes. Each show we played was like a roller coaster of up and downs, crowd
numbers and musically. Despite the ups and downs, the new sound and statement of a new mix was still being talked
about. Good or bad , we were still being talked about.
Chapter 2:
During the late spring of 2007 Nick left for school, and we hit the jack pot when we picked up Casey Zimmerman,
formerly of Arson Inc, along side the road when his tractor broke down in Johnsonburg, not really, but we did pick up a
perfect addition to the personality bond, along with being an incredible drummer.
We have always been strong in our home towns of DuBois and Clearfield with crowds and friends, but we always lacked
the ability of getting our name out in the Elk County Area, Since we have joined up with Casey our musical bond not only
keeps getting better with everyshow, we owe much of our success in Elk County to hooking up with Casey.
Chapter 3:
Spring of 2009 Marc Dinsmore landed a new job in Pittsburgh, due to the beautiful Pa winters he had to make a tough
choice to leave the band, it was a major bummer losing him as our guitar player. Fortunatly for us a great friend of the
band, Eric Koval, who used to play with Greg in Buck-It as a bassplayer was in the in the market as a free agent. We
hooked up with him in late October.
The list of friends that we keep meeting from week to week from Northwest Central Pa , just keeps growing out of
control. It has been a great experience, DTK cannot thank you all enough, your support, party abilitys, and you comments
has been what keeps the DTK regime rolling every week. Rock it up!
