The Dickies Were Amongst The First Punk Rock Bands To Emerge From Los Angeles And The First California Punk Band To Be Signed To A Major Record Label And Appear On Network Television. The Dickies' Style Was Campy And Humorous With Obvious Influences From The Ramones. They Were Extremely Popular In The UK And Had A Top 10 Hit With "Banana Splits Tra La La Song " In 1979 Oddly Enough Many Of Their Lyrics Were About Aspects Of Southern California Life Not Easily Decipherable To Those Unfamiliar With The Region In Songs Like "Waterslide" "I'm A Chollo" "Manny Moe And Jack" And " I'm Stuck In A Pagoda With Tricia Toyota" Which Is About A Local TV News Anchorwoman. Drug Problems Slowed Them Down Considerably In The 1980s But They Have Continued Playing And Recording Sporadically To The Present Day. In 1988 They Did The Theme Music For The Cult Classic Movie Killer Klowns From Outer Space. Former Dickies Guitarist Steven Fryette Who Laughingly Claims To Have Been One Of The Few Who "survived" Being In The Dickies Now Designs And Manufactures Guitar Amplifiers From His FRYETTE Amplification Studios In Burbank California. His FRYETTE Formerly VHT Amps Are Known Worldwide And Have Been Used By Many Of Today's Top Heavy Metal And Rock Touring Acts Including Helmet Danzig Prong Children Of Bodom And Many Others.
