a 37 year absence The Dictators NYC, that’s Handsome Dick Manitoba, Ross “The

Boss”, JP Patterson with Ramones associate Daniel Rey

and Dean Rispler

finally return to London to play The Highbury Garage as a prelude to their

Rebellion Festival appearance. The last official Dictators album came out 26

years ago in 1991 a gap of 13 years since 1978’s “Bloodbrothers” but even so

none of the songs culled from them, “Go Girl Crazy” and “Manifest Destiny”

sound dated. They sound just awesome as you are just about to hear along with a

couple of covers thrown in for good measure in the shape and form of The

Flaming Grooves “Slow Death” and with HDM reprising his Rob Tyner role with “Kick

Out The Jams”.
