Book Me! dim jim

Good evening (or morning or afternoon, idk when or where you’re reading this), please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Jimmy Basura.

I have HUNDREDS of original SONGS in a variety of STYLES (and qualities—it’s a continuum LOL), to play for you, as illustrated in the examples below, but live, expect some old-school SURREAL PUNK with my HOOKS and my flexibly ANDROGYNOUS, ONEIROMANTIC VOICE and GUITAR front and center.

I have experience in and with other underground rock bands, small-to-medium-sized rooms, some light touring, and art exhibition settings at open studios, galleries, and libaries, and perform alternately in a PUNK ROCK voice/electric guitar format or an ABSTRACT PUNK format.

Thanks!

¿Quién chingados es DIM JIM?

Charlie “Dim Jim” Gil was a Texas-born singer and rock ‘n’ roll zealot who got burned alive in an accidental warehouse fire with all the other members of the Wolf Note Collective back in ’18.

But this unholy ghost lives on in his music, available now on Microwave Eyes Tapes. And as an adept in astral projection, he has also been known to make “live” appearances from time to time, manifesting in various forms on various stages, so don’t believe for a second that he won’t do a show for you just ’cause he’s dead.

  • Spacey, baroque, NOISEPOP.
    My Bloody Valentine, Jesus & Mary Chain, Zombies, Fiery Furnaces, Beatles, Beach Boys, Phil Spector, Olivia Tremor Control, Talking Heads.

His seminal record It’s Him! is available on cassette now, one of only a handful of Wolf Note works rescued from the ashes of the conflagration that took the ne-er-do-well art groop’s lives.

I ask that you please check out Dim Jim’s music as soon as possible. For his Mama’s sake, pobrecita. She never expected to lose her only child* so soon. She was always telling him not to rock ‘n’ roll but he did anyway and now he’s dead. Puta madre.**

  • Drones, feedback, loops, NOISE.
    Merzbow, Coil, Can, Melt Banana, Datach’i, Flying Saucer Attach, Spacemen 3, Vacant Lots, Neu!, Gothic Voices, Royal Trux, Sonic Youth.

*Actually he was not an only child. I mean, I’m not sure. This may or may not be true.
