DZ
Ruined My Life
Part 1:
DZ Ruined My Life because I didn't go see them when they came to Sydney to play in front of 48 hipsters and two 'all up in the music blog scene' kids. DZ Ruined My Life because they collectively smashed a bottle of Jagermeister in three minutes while simultaneously putting Sofia Ford Coppola out of a job and bringing back the strobe light. DZ Ruined My Life because in order to listen to Ruined My Life in full effect I had to buy two beers each round: one to drink and the other to spray the crowd with. DZ Ruined My Life because they do covers of Daft Punk's Da Funk and Vengaboys We Like To Party. DZ Ruined My Life because there's only two of them. DZ Ruined My Life and for that they get eleven chains out of ten for being completely 'off the chain'.
Part 2:
DZ Ruined My Life because every time I hear them play I immediately get looser than a hooker's 'money slot'. The next day I wake up simultaneously wishing I am dead and really happy that I am alive so I can listen to DZ some more. DZ Ruined My Life because they make me head butt bros who are smaller (but cooler) than me. DZ Ruined My Life because they remind me that Death From Above 1979 decided to become techno fuckheads - which really bums me out. DZ Ruined My Life because they swagger like confident cunts with heaps of shit to prove, yet they also seem to enjoy being bratty party-starting punks who love to repeatedly punch me in the face while I try and get 'my drink on' and/or transform into my younger moshy self. DZ Ruined My Life when they called me The Internet.
Part 3:
This is the kind of music you can really crack a bag of Doritos to. Any flavour.
