Chinese Dentist

This weekend in Tuscaloosa has officially been declared the "Wellthatscool.com Messin With Texas Weekend" by the president of Alabama.
  Two nights of excitement and entertainment book-ending the University of Alabama football game as they take on the North Texas Mean Green.
This all starts Sept. 18 at 7pm when DCDC presents "The Big Lebowski" at the Historic Bama Theatre.
   From there head right down the street to the Mellow Mushroom where your ears be tickled by the sounds of Chinese Dentist, a classic Tuscaloosa funky band and Armless Victory, a dj that mixes live instruments with beats. Tickets for that portion of the night are already available online at Brown Paper Tickets. Read more »

   Chinese Dentist played their last show together at some point in early 2007. They are getting together to play at a location that is completely familiar yet entirely different: The Booth.

For percussionist and enthusiaphoneist Bo Hicks, this  is "a new beginning as we move forward we don't view this as a way to support our family's anymore but it was never about the money its about doing something you love with people you love."
   I had a chance to sit down with Bo and talk to him about Chinese Dentist; then and now. He promises that the show this Saturday at the Booth will not suck and have him  dancing like the wild man of Borneo.

WTC: How many years did you play together and where have you played?
Bo: We were together from 2001 to early 2007 and we played any where we could. A couple of my favorites were (keep in mind these were the best shows just the funniest to recant) 1) Watermark Place Outlet Mall. 2) The roof of Fox 6 in Birmingham where we jamed with Mickey Ferguson and  sang Voodoo Lady to Janet Hall followed 12 hours later with a gig at The Nick with two death metal bands, Obliviaxe and Trokar. 3) A motorcycle rally in North Alabama. 4) A 24 hour laundry mat bar in New Orleans.
We played every where we could in the south east. We always had fun but the two best spots for us where Tuscaloosa and Baton Rouge. Read more »
