Dave Brockie Experience

Initially formed around 1998 by the three core members of GWAR, The Dave Brockie Experience was a comedic punk rock group consisting of lead singer/bassist Dave Brockie, guitarist Mike Derks, and drummer Brad Roberts. The band originally performed as “O.L.D.” (Obnoxious Loud And Drunk), playing songs that would later be finalized and released on GWAR’s We Kill Everything.

Serving as an outlet for Brockie’s goofier ideas, DBX would perform intimate shows in small clubs, including an infamous show where the performance fell apart as Brockie was high on acid. A typical DBX setlist would include, alongside their original songs, covers of GWAR, X-Cops, and Death Piggy songs.

DBX released two albums (2001’s Diarrhea of a Madman and 2003’s Songs for the Wrong), a live album (Live From Ground Zero, recorded in New York City a month after 9/11), and a DVD (Hanging Out at the Pound) before dissolving.

Prior to his death in March 2014, Dave Brockie would hint at a potential return for DBX, though it never came to fruition.
