A heavy metal feud is brewing between California and Dallas.
Seems Southern California’s Def Leppard tribute band is pretty pissed off at Dallas’ Def Leppard tribute band, according to Spinner and NME. Perusing the Huntington Beach-based Leppard tribute band’s website confirms that, alas, it is true:
Seems there is a Def Leppard tribute band in Dallas who call themselves Pyromania and are looking for a one armed drummer.
We wanted to set the record straight that we have nothing to do with this ad and we are not looking for a drummer and feel is is in VERY BAD TASTE!! We have much respect for Rick Allen and Def Leppard and We have a great love and honor for their music. Please do not confuse us with this complete discusting and disrespectful behaviour.
This, of course, is in response to Pyromania Dallas’ “seeking one arm drummer” poster floating around the Internet.
Dallas, make your New Year’s Resolution Count!
We’re $11,000 away from our End-of-Year campaign goal, with just a couple of days left! We’re ready to deliver — but we need the resources to do it right. If Dallas Observer matters to you, please contribute today to help us expand our current events coverage when it’s needed most.
Last week, we put a call into the band’s advertised number, only to find an automated message that the position has been filled. Since then, Pyromania Dallas has stirred the Internet beehive — the poster floated all the way to Rolling Stone — and baffled spelling bee champs worldwide.
We’re just hoping for a (Dallas) Pyromania show in the near future.
