From Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaDash Rip Rock is a The Beverly Hillbillies." Dash Riprock was Ellie May's wanna be beau. The band is a legendary live powerhouse, often being credited with founding the musical genre known as "Country Punk." Over time, Dash has evolved into a classic Louisiana roots rock/punk band. Today, the only remaining original member is singer/guitarist Bill Davis.
History
Taking cues from the early-80s American roots rock revival embodied by such acts as Rank and File, The LeRoi Brothers, The Beat Farmers, The Stray Cats and Jason & the Scorchers, guitarist Bill Davis formed Dash Rip Rock with drummer F. Clarke Martty and bassist Ned "Hoaky" Hickel in 1984. All three were veterans of the Baton Rouge, Louisiana post-punk / new wave scene, with Davis having gained some local notoriety in The Human Rayz and Hickel in Scooter and the Mopeds.
Originally, the band was heavily focused on country and rockabilly, with Martty playing a simple stand-up drum kit and band members sporting cowboy shirts and bola ties. Early shows included lots of George Jones covers and the band's first single featured the country-leaning "Marsupial" and a fast rockabilly tune called "Shake That Girl".
