Howdy ho folks!

Just arrived in the UK yesterday and are hanging our hats in the Isle of Wight at the moment for a few home-cooked meals and some clean towels before heading to the dirty fields of Truck Festival :D

The madness begins tomorrow and thought we should give you a bit of an update to let you know when and where you can join in on the party...

A few more dates to confirm while we're over here, but at the moment we have:

July 19th - Main Stage - Truck Festival 12:00pm
August 1st - The Hope - Brighton - 8:00pm
August 2nd - Port Mahon - Oxford - 8:00pm


We're heading to a residential studio up in Stroud for about a week after Truck and then we have to head over to Amsterdam for a few days too for some "meetings" Internet access is hit and miss at the moment, but we'll try our best to keep ya posted on the additional shows that we're waiting word from...

Also, we're about to launch an official DP website in the next few days...along with the website, we'll be doing an online release of 6 songs titled Songs of Man and Beast (Chapter I) All songs have been written, recorded and produced by DP at One Man Army Studios.


To tickle your taste buds, we've posted a version of Supermegadon on our myspace and AMP pages (we'll have the full release on this when we get back from the tour), so if yer interested, drop by to one of the following links:

Anywho, a few last things to do here. Chat with you all again soon...and remember to stay sexy!

Peace out!
