The DGB Quotes

They go from sweet, dreamy riffs to dirty, energetic heights and interlock them with some great character

-the Opinonated Musician, 2011

The Greatest Life Unknown epitomizes this fusion perfectly sounding like the lovechild of The Stooges and Sebadoh with raw production value, brash drums, chugging bass lines, raunchy guitar riffs and unbridled hollering.

-The Scope, St. John's, 2011

I/O: THE DGB

The DGB don’t stand for nothing.

With a sound like a modern take on Led Zeppelin, The Stooges or Black Sabbath, the tunes from the Lindsay, Ontario rockers burn on alcohol and rock alone to create a fusion of everything you want and cutting out the filler.

We got a chance to see them perform at Vern’s Bar in Calgary during their latest tour, and sat down for a pint to talk about the journey.

I love the DGB. They embody everything that has made rock and roll timeless: raw sounds; big energy; no fear; no limits. The first time I saw them perform, Daniel and his brother Jonathan finished the set in what appeared to be a full fledged WWF (WWE these days, right?) wrestling exhibition … while playing their instruments … really well. I will never forget that show. Not only can they entertain the masses, but these boys actually write good, catchy, rockin’ songs too.

It was a slow night at Ducky’s when a few unfamiliar faces drifted in through the doors of the establishment. In Sackville, when you don’t recognize someone and they’ve got that road-travelled look about them, it’s almost safe to assume that they’re musicians passing through town. It wasn’t too long after they arrived that we got into a discussion on music they informed me that they played in a band called The DGB from Ontario and were playing at 15 Alison the next evening. I hadn’t been to a house show in a while, so I was already looking forward to this show, and even more so after meeting a few of the guys playing. So, early on a Wednesday night, after doctoring up some Bridge Street Cafe coffee and hot apple cider my friend Yogi and I made our way over to the basement show.
