    <description>When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth is a band from Austin, Texas.  Formed in 2006 by Marc Voorhees (guitar), Cory Plump (bass), Nate Cross (guitar), Brandon Crowe (drums), Jesse Hodges (vocals), &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.last.fm/music/Daniel+Francis+Doyle&quot; class=&quot;bbcode_artist&quot;&gt;Daniel Francis Doyle&lt;/a&gt; (drums) and George Dishner (vocals).  Jeff Swanson (drums) of Austin band &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.last.fm/music/Gorch+Fock&quot; class=&quot;bbcode_artist&quot;&gt;Gorch Fock&lt;/a&gt; is also known to have played when savant soloist Doyle is touring on his own.  Many have said WDRTE were vomited out of the Austin scene because of their various affiliations with other vomit inspired bands. Dinos are made up of members of the following &lt;span title=&quot;Unknown artist&quot; class=&quot;bbcode_unknown&quot;&gt;Oh! Beast&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.last.fm/music/Awesome+Cool+Dudes&quot; class=&quot;bbcode_artist&quot;&gt;Awesome Cool Dudes&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.last.fm/music/Tuxedo+Killers&quot; class=&quot;bbcode_artist&quot;&gt;Tuxedo Killers&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.last.fm/music/The+Dakota+Building&quot; class=&quot;bbcode_artist&quot;&gt;The Dakota Building&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.last.fm/music/Pterodactyl&quot; class=&quot;bbcode_artist&quot;&gt;Pterodactyl&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.last.fm/music/Twin+Powers&quot; class=&quot;bbcode_artist&quot;&gt;Twin Powers&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.last.fm/music/Expensive+Shit&quot; class=&quot;bbcode_artist&quot;&gt;Expensive Shit&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.last.fm/music/Daniel+Francis+Doyle&quot; class=&quot;bbcode_artist&quot;&gt;Daniel Francis Doyle&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.last.fm/music/Shit+and+Shine&quot; class=&quot;bbcode_artist&quot;&gt;Shit and Shine&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;span title=&quot;Unknown artist&quot; class=&quot;bbcode_unknown&quot;&gt;Los Laundry Boys&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span title=&quot;Unknown artist&quot; class=&quot;bbcode_unknown&quot;&gt;Wessa DJs&lt;/span&gt; (the original Jar Jar Binks DJ duo).   Their favorite words: clouds, meisters, doggies, pups, brew pups, noiice, noiiiiice, not noiice, nn, n, total meisters, horns up, horns down, no ice, slump busters, wait...what, fritters, beasts and machines.  Their debut album &lt;a title=&quot;When Dinosaurs Ruled The Earth - Snacks&quot; href=&quot;http://www.last.fm/music/When+Dinosaurs+Ruled+The+Earth/Snacks&quot; class=&quot;bbcode_album&quot;&gt;Snacks&lt;/a&gt; was released by the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.last.fm/label/Emperor+Jones/&quot; class=&quot;bbcode_label&quot;&gt;Emperor Jones&lt;/a&gt; Recording Group (also home of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.last.fm/music/The+Rebel&quot; class=&quot;bbcode_artist&quot;&gt;The Rebel&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.last.fm/music/Rusted+Shut&quot; class=&quot;bbcode_artist&quot;&gt;Rusted Shut&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.last.fm/music/KB+Da+Kidnappa&quot; class=&quot;bbcode_artist&quot;&gt;KB Da Kidnappa&lt;/a&gt; &amp;amp; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.last.fm/music/Pip+Proud&quot; class=&quot;bbcode_artist&quot;&gt;Pip Proud&lt;/a&gt;).  Their second album NOT NOIICE was released on the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.last.fm/label/Chalk+Circle/&quot; class=&quot;bbcode_label&quot;&gt;Chalk Circle&lt;/a&gt; imprint. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.last.fm/music/When+Dinosaurs+Ruled+The+Earth&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Listen at Last.fm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Local sevenpiece When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth is beyond definition. Crash bam boom. Pop metal noise. Start stop holler. Whatever. The Tuxedo Killers-Awesome Cool Dudes combo is loud, jittery, and &amp;ndash; get this &amp;ndash; completely in control. Where most noise bands spit and sputter above a staccato guitar spurt, Dinos play with time changes, melody, and power. Don&amp;#39;t let opening number &amp;quot;Glee Club&amp;quot; fool you, either. These aren&amp;#39;t well-behaved boys. That becomes apparent as soon as George Dishner&amp;#39;s percussive vox drives into &amp;quot;1-2-3 Pissmop.&amp;quot; Where his volume ends, Jesse Hodges&amp;#39; creepy melody begins. The two vocalists combine with dual guitar attack, bass, and double drummers Daniel Francis Doyle and Brandon Crowe. &amp;quot;Let&amp;#39;s All Get Fades&amp;quot; presents that metal-pop cocktail with a PBR chaser, but &amp;quot;Saturday Morning Caveman&amp;quot; investigates structure a bit more: &amp;quot;That&amp;#39;s just how we roll.&amp;quot; Sure, some silliness is involved (&amp;quot;The Triumphant Spirit of the Olympics,&amp;quot; the sticky sweet &amp;quot;Los Laundry Boys&amp;quot;) and even some psych-metal wankery (closer &amp;quot;Bananafana&amp;quot;), but Dinos&amp;#39; Snacks is a bit of mad-scientist brilliance put through monster amps. And at only 261&amp;Uacute;2 minutes long, odds are the album is longer than any live Dinos show you might be lucky enough to attend.</description>

  <comment>The spaced-out psych rock ensemble When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth was born from the (still active) ranks of such bands as Tuxedo Killers, Dakota Building, Awesome Cool Dudes, and Oh, Beast!. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&amp;sql=11:hcfexqrdldje&quot;&gt;more at www.allmusic.com&lt;/a&gt;</comment>
  <comment>Austin loves chaos, and local sevenpiece When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth has it in spades. With two drummers, two guitars, two singers, and a bass, Dinos ripped through the tasty Snacks (Emperor Jones) last year, but they switch from metal to grunge live. Part Awesome Cool Dudes and part Tuxedo Killers, Dinos provide sophomore LP Not Noiice this spring for further investigation. &#8211; Darcie Stevens</comment>
