Re: The Dickies
A friend of mine saw them maybe a year or two ago and enjoyed the show -- I remember her posting about it on Faceplace or whatever. But she's always been easily entertained. 
After my experience with X last summer, I've decided I'm not going to go see any bands that are not putting out new material; it's fine to have a coupla few old chestnuts sprinkled through a set, but I don't need a whole oldies show of 35-year-old tunes.

My wife and I are seeing what's left of The Who in May.
Re: The Dickies
Decided against going.
Not worth the expense of a trip to Sydney for them, I got the gig venue wrong.Drug problems slowed the Dickies down considerably in the 1980s, but they have continued playing and recording sporadically to the present day. Guitarist/keyboardist/saxophonist Chuck Wagon (born Bob Davis) committed suicide after a break-up with his girlfriend in June 1981. Jonathan Melvoin, who played drums on The Dickies album, Idjit Savant, died of a heroin overdose on July 12, 1996 in New York, aged 34, while on tour playing keyboards for the Smashing Pumpkins.
Original drummer Karlos Kabellero (born Carlos Cabellero) died on September 22, 2009 from heart related problems. One-time guitarist Enoch Hain (born Robert Frederick Orin Lansing, Jr.)[11] died on July 25, 2009 from complications arising from pneumonia.
