펑크밴드 드링킹소년소녀합창단! 오늘도 씐나게 질주를 시작한다!
Drinking Boys and Girls Choir (DBGC) is a three-piece punk band from Daegu, South Korea. Formed in 2013 when two drummers MJ and Meena shared a rehearsal space and decided to form a band, Meena switched to Bass and guitarist Bondu (who had just finished his military service) answered their ad. They bonded over a shared love of drinking, skating and punk. Inspired by Daegu’s 90s-00s hardcore punk/indie-rock scene before it moved to Seoul, a topic band are very passionate about, vowing not to move to the capital, preferring to nurture a sustainable local scene. In 2017, MJ suffered a serious motorbike accident, so the band took a hiatus while awaiting her recovery. When she was fit again, they DIY produced their 18 track debut album “Keep Drinking” released on Damnably/Electric Muse in 2019, followed by show stealing appearances at SXSW, TGE, LSC, Pentaport, Busan International Rock Festival, Zandari & MU:CON and also toured the UK tour supporting label mates Otoboke Beaver & Say Sue Me. Bondu retired from the band following their UK tour and Myorori stepped in on guitar duties.
In February 2020 the band toured Europe with Otoboke Beaver just ahead of the pandemic closing down the world. So they wrote and recorded a new album and participated in several online editions of festivals. Myorori decided to leave the band after the album’s recording due to other career commitments. Junghoon Han is their new member on guitar.
The bands sophomore album “Marriage License” was released in May 2021 picking up favourable press in Spin, Paste, MTV, Bandcamp and radio from KEXP and Strombo’s show on CBC in Canada. Pallo once again provided the bands artwork and videos and created unique ‘canvas’ animations viewable on Spotify. In 2022 DBGC toured Japan for the first time playing with label mates hazy Sour Cherry in Tokyo and Otoboke Beaver in Nagoya.
