WORLD EXCLUSIVE: CIALIS HAS A BROTHER!!!

2011-12-14T01:15:00.012+01:00

Maybe this is the secret of his fast rise to glory in the musical industry, Cialis, The Rockabilly Gorilla, has an older brother and he is also a musician.
There's not just bourbon in his veins. Pure wild rock'n'roll party is in his blood. We don't really know much about him, but our investigations have just started... and won't stop until we know his name.

You can figure it out how cool can Cialis' brother be by watching him playing the organ and the guitar many years ago with the The Saturn V featuring Orbit!!!! WOW!!!

The Untamed Youth Live On Stage, Feb. 1990.

2010-04-06T18:18:00.019+02:00

A couple of years ago we found this great show in a P2P program with this note:
"The Untamed Youth (Deke Dickerson)
February 8th, 1990
Audience Recording...came from audio cassette, to my computer, to you!

Don't have much info on this show, but sounds great if you are into Deke's
stuff. Not a long set, but cool nonetheless.
I lost the info of where it was, but it may have been out in the
Southwest. If I dig it up, I'll share the info.

Please, Don't sell it (if you even could...!), just share it, convert it,
I don't really care...but don't sell it.
Keep live music sharing fun."

Steve 'Sammy' Rager, Sophisticated International Playboy, keyboards player of the band, and Untamed Youth's archivist capital of the world, told us that if the date isn't incorrect, this show was at The Chameleon, Lancaster, PA.
And if that´s true, the people of the "Red Rose City" could be considered the most boring audience in the world (or maybe they went deaf with the first chords): I can't still understand how everybody kept quiet throughout the whole show.

Don't loose this opportunity to hear the rage of the band 20 years ago!!!!
And assure yourself to hear "Can't you see I do" ... pure honey to your listening pleasure, and never recorded by the band although they planed to.

The Untamed Youth in the Domenic Priore's Gazette

2010-04-05T19:31:00.011+02:00

In the late 80's, the legendary Domenic Priore's Dumb Angel Gazette #3 published a pair of Untamed Youth's reviews. One of them speaking about their first album, and the other one commenting their show at the Norton Records owners wedding, Billy Miller and Miriam Linna.

Great memories for the old fans of the band and surely very peculiar document for the newest ones.
Anyway, everbody enjoy!

The Go-Nuts At The Monster Garage

2010-03-20T19:13:00.013+01:00

A couple of years ago, celebrating the build of a real letal weapon to fight against the warriors of the low colesterol diets, The Go-Nuts visited the Monster Garage.
A cop car converted in a rolling donut factory!
Wow!
An absolutely top complement for powered artifacts like the Nutwaggon or the atomic Nut-Bot 9000 giant robot.

Deke has just recorded a new song for an upcoming Bear Family 40th Anniversary Box Set. It's called "Bear Family Box Set Talkin' Blues" and it's about a man who has to live in a shack, by the
railroad track, because he spent all his money on Bear Family box sets!
Maybe some of you know the feeling...
Here is a photo of Deke recording the song, which will be released in the summer of this year.

Batman & Robin quote about Deke Dickerson

2010-01-26T19:56:00.026+01:00

Robin: Hey Batman... what guitar could be the best to play The Batman Theme?
Batman: A Halmark Wing-Bat guitar, for sure.
Robin: Holy strings! And... where in the world could be the best place to play The Batman Theme with the one and only Hallmark Wing-Bat guitar?
Batman: The truly Batmobile created by Mr. George Barris himself, with no doubt.
Robin: Holy convertible...! But how can you be so sure, Batman?
Batman: I really can, my friend. Earth movement is an inexact science at best. And... Robin, can you tell me who could be the best superguitar-hero to play The Batman Theme in the real original Batmobile?
Robin: Oh Batman!... Is there any man that could see the Bat Signal and play it for us???
Batman: Yes, Robin... There's a Man in the world... The One and Only MR. ENTERTAINMENT!!!
Robin: Gosh, Batman... is there anything you don't know?
Batman: Oh... yes, Robin. Several things in fact. But... IN THE END, VERACITY AND RECTITUDE ALWAYS TRIUMPH.

FOR THOSE ABOUT TO DEKE:

2008-12-24T19:54:00.015+01:00

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

We have a Christmas present to the Deke Dickerson fans all over the world. The last incredible reunion show of The Untamed Youth at The Funtastic Dracula Carnival in Valencia (Spain), captured absolutely live.
Someone thought they were senior... but listen this and then tell me if they've really lost their teen rage.
A real 2008 Comeback Special!

WARNING:
These files can set your mp3 player on fire.

Deke beats the tube!

2008-10-30T20:19:00.009+01:00

One of the best moments of our life. Deke has open his old memory chest and has just begun to share clips at YouTube as incredibles as this: Here he is playing with the original Lefty Frizzell's Bigsby Guitar, one of our all time favourite tunes, "Just can't live that fast, anymore".

Deke Dickerson says about the clip:
Trying to do justice to the greatest honky-tonk singer of all time...I got to play Lefty Frizzell's original Gibson SJ-200 with Bigsby neck. I was scared to death--not only because of how much the guitar sold for, but also because Lefty Frizzell's ghost is in there...very scary. Merle Haggard bought the guitar--and I would like to apologize to Merle here for putting a 400 dollar pick scratch on the pickguard. Thanks to Retrofret in Brooklyn for letting me play Lefty's guitar while it was in their possession.

BAD NEWS TO LOLA: JET WON'T PLAY WITH THE UNTAMED YOUTH

2008-09-11T17:09:00.006+02:00

Lola will hate us , but the great drummer Joel "Jet" Trueblood won't go to play to Valencia.

The drummer that will make us jump will be the great Chris "Sugarballs" Sprague. He's been playin the last times the Youth has played, and if you have never heard about him... just wait to see him drink Jack Daniels.

~~This show will blow our minds.~~

That show really blowed our minds!

THE YOUTH RUNS WILD AGAIN!!!

2008-04-28T21:50:00.009+02:00

Mr. Bebop Dickerson don't need the old red 1964 Fender Jaguar to shake down any place, he has a complete guitar collection to choose another one, and do it easily in addition of his world famous recipe of teen-rage. The King Of Men has a new pair of shoes ready to kick and break your asses letting you know that he really is more punk than you. Sammy, The Life Of The Party In Everyway, is proud to tell you… http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=117284862&blogID=383670670

Special Advise to LOLA: Jet will be there too!!!

Good news for all those people who couldn't be at the last Guitar Geek Festival.

WHO IS WHO?

2008-03-24T22:59:00.007+01:00

has anybody ever thought that Deke Dickerson and The Donut Prince was the same guy????
INCORRECT...
This X-File confirms that Deke is not the Clark Kent of The Donut Prince...

ONCE IN A LIFETIME COMES A MOMENT LIKE THIS...!!!

2008-03-07T00:08:00.016+01:00

Never again you’ll have a chance like this...

Can you imagine feel all the power..... all the rage..... all the fun..... all the laughs..... all the parties..... all the happy faces..... that this supercharged 1964 Fender Jaguar has felt itself????

The guitar that probably has kicked more asses in the whole wide world... the guitar of Derek "bebop" Dickerson, the main power of THE UNTAMED YOUTH... is near you...

Perhaps, it still has the flavor of pabst blue ribbon beer.....or maybe you can even hear the eccos of FUJIMO.....every top song of the untamed youth was played with this funmaker-machine.

Catch the last wave to all that happiness, and hurry up, the final countdown is near over:

You´ve got to understand... now... this is the moment of truth.

HELP DEKE TO GET THE LIST!!!

2008-02-24T20:48:00.034+01:00

Look that sweat drops in his front.
It must be really hard to get a set-list if you are one of the men who know and can play more songs in the whole wide world.
Maybe he needs some help from his fans. Do you wanna help him?
Please, tell Deke which are the 3 or 4 favourite songs you´d like him to perform at the shows.
(For share them, you can leave a comment, send a message to our mail or write a note on Cbox)
My favourite ones are (among many others, of course):
- Wear out the soles of my shoes
- Looks like I’m in trouble again
- My General Lee (“no excuse with two guitars on the band”)
- Rebel without a snack
- Ha-So (better with “The Man of the Gong”)

KING OF THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD

DEKE-O-RAMA INTRO

2007-12-13T18:22:00.001+01:00

Hi pals:
Here we are, a pair of unruly crazy mofos from Spain, trying to set up a blog dedicated to one of the most important musicians of the last 20 years, or just like everybody knows him on the musical business, the hardest working musician on Planet Earth: DEKE DICKERSON.

If you're also a fan of Mr. Entertainment, please tell us. DEKE-O-RAMA is your blog. We need your help to explain to the rest of world, how great this man can be.

We hope to share here regularly, with or without your help, all kind of multimedia stuff from our hero, with his own supervision and permission (of course), and maybe (why not?) with his own contribution.

We'll end this first blog entry with a simple...

... MESSAGE TO THE WORLD...

ALL DEKE'S FANS OF THE EARTH:
