Dope Body formed in Baltimore in '08, setting up novelty basement shows making a great mess of an experience with drunken beer flying, shirts tearing, glass breaking, strings snapping, amps frying, cigarette smoke asphyxiating, et al. Dope Body strive to play this kind of show over and over again. Together, they are a spasm of styles and directions, showering sparks from a half-melted thickness. Yes, they're a Rock band, but with apprehension and indifference. To them, they've always been a kind of science-lab-kitchen thing, both fucked and fun in all the right ways.
