Deke Dickerson - Friday, September 12th - 8pm
This Midwestern native's history is rather immense. A country/rockabilly/surf icon, Dickerson's played in such bands as the Untamed Youth, Dave and Deke, and more. He's released a handful of albums, the most recent of which, King of the Whole Wide World, dropped just this past May. His music has been featured in myriad films, including Sideways, but this will be the first time his tunes have been featured live at DCD. He's calling it a party on his MySpace page, and we're planning to bring the noise with free, delicious beer for any 21+ patron that shows up to enjoy Deke's musical company. See you then!

Oh yeah, and that sale? Glad you asked...

We've teamed up with our friends from WEA (who were kind enough to provide Friday's refreshments!) to offer a rather extensive Warner/Rhino catalog sale. What this means is that on Friday you'll be able to purchase select titles from Talking Heads, Otis Redding, Bjork, ZZ Top, Lucinda Williams, B-52's, Devo, Jackson Browne, Los Lobos, Ride, Deep Purple, Little Feat, 10,000 Maniacs, Tracy Chapman, The Cars, Warren Zevon, Dwight Yoakam, Violent Femmes and many more, all for $9 each! To make it easy for you, we'll have all the sale titles on display in the new releases bin, marked for your convenience. Pretty sweet, right?

To put it in perspective, you can't buy an album on iTunes for $9 (plus, you get a copy for your shelf our way). You can't buy three gallons of gas for $9. You can only get a decent meal for $9 if you're lucky. You can barely get a regular used CD for $9. And you certainly can't see a Falcons game for $9. But you can get tons of brand-new discs from some of our favorite artists on Friday for $9! Don't miss out on this opportunity.
