Biography

Back in 2003 Dim Wild and Donald Dondez decided to join their forces and to get themselves in a new musical adventure: Driving Dead Girl is about to be born.
Quickly meeting with great critical acclaim for their rock performances, they are soon joined by the drummer J-F Hermand and by the bass guitarist André Diaz. From there, it took the band less than a year to make its first appearance on stage.
In 2004 and after only a few showcases, Driving Dead Girl is short-listed and takes part in the International Dour Festival, but this was only the first step! Following their forerunners’ example, the quartet played several first-parts such as The Rakes, Queen Adreena, Radio4, Tokyo Sex Destruction, The Black Angels and many others. Meanwhile, they also recorded a first album: "50,000 Dead Girls Can't be Wrong".
Comprising a short selection of only 7 titles, it is recorded under live conditions and mixed in two months fulfilling the then low-end and garage-rock attitude that animated the group.
At this time, Driving Dead Girl also had an exclusive recording contract with “BANG!” which gave them the opportunity to perform all around Belgium and from time to time in France.
Unfortunately the then tense atmosphere soon disrupted the shaky organization and both J-F Hermand and André Diaz left the group.
Four years later, after several changes in the band line-up and a neared dead-end, the group finally stabilized. Newcomers Vincenzo Capizzi (drummer) and Dan Diaz (bass player) smashed in, bringing by this very fact a new balance and a new vision to the project. The news spread like a thunderbolt and proposals for concerts and records broke surface again. The band was back on line and the nouveau quartet premièred Black Rebel Motorcycle Club (nuits botanique), The Black Keys (atelier.lu) ,Therapy? (AB) and Lords Of Altamont.
This definitely cemented their brand new stage reputation.
More recently, in January 2010, Driving Dead Girl started the realization of their second album: « Don’t Give a Damn about bad Reputation”. In only 10 titles, the quartet enjoyed renewed success and confirmed their propensity to play and perform with a brutal energy coping with an original rock musical style wherein cinematographic and literary influences, stamped with broken-hearted sadness and despair, sometimes gave in to alcohol abuse, psyched madness and mal-être. After several proposals the group signs a deal with the French label Bad Reputation .
Press reviews
The Netherlands review
Oor magazine
like a mix from Jon Spencer in his Blues Explosion, Roy Orbison on speed op and The Cramps if they were still alive.
The single Don't Wanna Talk About the Girl Anymore has a lot of hit potential (but who has the balls to play the single?)...
