About D.R.I.
Biography The DIRTY ROTTEN IMBECILES' history begins on May 2, 1982 around 4:00pm, in the city of Houston, TX. It was on this day that the musically aggressive quartet we now know as D.R.I. made their first Dirty Rotten noise and called it a song. Back then it was Spike Cassidy (guitar), Kurt Brecht (vocals), Eric Brecht (drums), and Dennis Johnson (bass). The group started practicing at Kurt and Eric's pa...See More Description Dirty Rotten Imbeciles (also known as D.R.I.) are a United States hardcore punk/thrashcore/crossover thrash band that formed in Houston, Texas, in 1982. The band currently comprises founding members, vocalist Kurt Brecht and guitarist Spike Cassidy, as well as bassist Harald Oimoen, and drummer Walter Ryan. D.R.I. never gained a mainstream audience, but the integration of their hardcore punk roots with thrash metal influences was a stylistic catalyst for their contemporaries —most notably Suicidal Tendencies, Corrosion of Conformity, and Stormtroopers of Death— alongside whom they are considered pioneers of what would later be called "crossover thrash." This subgenre was also coined from their 1987 album Crossover.

DRI is like a fine wine and get better with age. Been listening to DRI since the mid 80's and they still amazing. It was nice to bring my kid to the show who is also a fan. The fans at this show ranged from about 10 to 70. It was a diverse group and a great vibe. The band sounded great and put on an amazing show for the fans.

Excellent show of the many many times I've seen dirty rotten imbeciles I would say this is probably their best performance. The sound was great the venue was awesome it was a great crowd except for one asshole that threw a water bottle and hit the lead singer in the face. That guy is a dumb prick but they didn't miss a Beat and continued to play on!

This is my 3rd time catching D.R.I and every time they put on one of the most fun shows I’ve ever been to. Kurt Brecht is always handling the merch table and he’s a really cool guy to talk to. These guys get the crowd fucking going, and the community behind them are some of the most welcoming and friendly people I’ve gotten to meet.

D.R.I. never fails to deliver a great show. I mean, it's not technical thrash —it's crossover, meaning it's pretty simple, musically-speaking, but that's also what makes it great. And while age has really strained most vocal cord sets of many of metal’s music pioneers, you could close your eyes at a D.R.I. show and think it was 1985, not 2025.
