United Dipstick Organization formed in New York City's Lower East Side in the late 1970s, playing clubs there. Their 1981 song 'Animal House' drew criticism from some reviewers who called it unlistenable, but it became something of an anthem for their following. The band was led by Reverend James Blackwood, with Dr. Death on bass and The Holy One on drums.
They put out a handful of albums in the early 1980s, including 'Animal House' in 1981 and 'The Dipstick Tapes' in 1983. Their sound mixed punk with funk and experimental elements, heard on tracks like 'Azrael' and 'Black Widow.' They didn't find much commercial success, but they kept a cult audience through that decade.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
