| ABOUT DTK |
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!
