\u201cSee why D.I.<\/a> was one of my favorite bands to see \u201cback in the day\u201d (yeah, \u201cback in the day\u201d?) Who came up with that? Same douche that coined \u201cOld School\u201d? Read on!\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

Now although I took this picture The Fenders in Long Beach<\/a> my story is actually from when D.I. played the Olympic. It was right when their debut 12\u201dep \u201cs\/t\u201d (aka Richard Hung Himself) came out. I was standing off to the left of the MASSAVE pit (The Olympic would have thousands of people back then on a regular basis) D.I. had played a couple songs and Casey brought out a box of their brand new 12\u201d. He tossed a few out to the rabid crowd down front [who doesn\u2019t want a free record right?]. He then hucked one like a frisbee off to the right and it soon turned into a record boomarang and started making it\u2019s way towards me! I\u2019ve always been tall (and very handsome) so I jumped with all my might and the next thing you <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
 know, I have the new D.I. 12\u201d in my hands!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

I’ve seen DI many times all over Southern California<\/a>. Always a GREAT band to see live for sure and this was no exception. Casey Royer with Rik Agnew playing like a possessed demon! A winning combination. When D.I. was on their game they were one of the best bands to see. Great band then and now!<\/span><\/span>
