classic rock and glam-inspired rock - and also made the dancefloor hop

"Monster Mash", "The Timewarp" and "Ghostbusters".

specifically, Queen's Freddie Mercury, Guns N'Roses's Slash, Public
Enemy's Flava Flav and Run-DMC's Reverend Run.

Sept 2007 - DTR Razes Dalmeny!
DTR played an exciting outdoor show in Dalmeny, SK on September 8, 2007.

Watch for a repeat booking for late July 2008.
