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).

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.

Awesome show....Took my 11y.o. son & he was in awe...He was going off on the outside of the pit... The pit was an old school punk/hardcore one...I had to show him that this old guy can still get crazy in the pit...I appreciate this being an all ages show, so he can enjoy some thrash...

Even after 40 years the guys have still got it. Didn't miss a beat. To bad the sound quality was poor but that's more due to the acoustics of the Black Sheet building. First opening act sucked. Second band was good.cant remember there name so they weren't memorable.

Great show! I, unfortunately, haven’t been around to see DRI for way too many years. They were as intense, powerful, and tight as they were in the mid ‘80’s. Maybe even tighter now. Gonna make sure I’m in town for each show from here on out. Sorry I was absent for so long

I haven't seen this band like in 27 years or more. At the old Joe's garage in ft worth. But they still have the thrash and proved it. A very good show for a reasonable price. Thanx for the memories D.R.I!!

Ok so I’m bias… it’s only because they kept their signature style and sound just like they did 40 years ago. They did not disappoint! Lots of die-hard fans but some younger ones too—which means their style reaches across all ages.
