Denny Harvey


Of THE DUMFUX


    1. Tell us what you have been up too?

    “Well, I kinda decided to made some life changes recently and focus on my life, career and creativity a little more. I’ve actually been enjoying my first Christmas season in 16 years… as opposed to the usual chaos I had to deal with in the retail industry.”

    “I founded the ‘(515) Management Group’ a few years ago to help develop Midwestern, particularly Iowan, acts. I had a great run with FACECAGE and lately I’ve done a few shows for artists I really like… JUNK POET in particular.”

    2.  Who are the Dum Fux?

    Currently, the DUMFUX consists of:

    Corey Taylor (a.k.a Midnight GUNN) Guitars/Vocals

    Denny Harvey (a.k.a The Pope) Guitars/Vocals

    Steve McGuire (a.k.a Stevie Fux) Bass/Loansharking

    Joey Corigliano (a.k.a El Vato Loco) Drums/Drinking Jager

    Rich Cantrell (He’s new… he needs a nickname!) Keys/Harmonica

    And as always, we are accompanied vocally by our lovely DUMMETES, including Stephanie Wilkinson and
    Joni Lawler.

    And, huge props to Dirk Newton. You may remember him from his guitar
    shop down in the East Village a few
    years ago.

    Dirk is like a musical Yoda around the Des Moines area. He is our all around tech, sensei and guru for all things musical.

    3.
    What can we expect at this years show? .

    “Over the years we’ve had a tradition of playing New Year’s Eve… it’s grown to the point we gotta do it at the Val Air Ballroom in West Des Moines.”

    “This year we have CALOUS CD release opening the show, our old friends
    JUNK POET
    and the awesome DIRTY LITTLE RABBITS rounding out
    the bill.”

    “Another tradition of ours is to include a lot of special guests from the local scene. This year, expect guest appearances from bands like FACECAGE, CALOUS, DI-FI, DIRTY LITTLE RABBITS, ONLY & JUNK POET on some very eclectic songs.”

     4. How did this tradition start?

    “Corey and I started the DUMFUX in 96’ to play a friend’s 18th birthday party. The result of a couple of phone calls and nothing to do. We literally did it on four hours notice”

    “Originally the REJECTS (Dizzy Draztik
    & Joey Jordison’s Pre-MURDERDOLLS outfit) were slated to play but at the
    last minute Joey couldn’t do it so Dizzy
    called Corey, Corey called me and we pieced together a PA, instruments and
    a loose set-list. We ended up playing
    ina body shop/meth lab off of Maury
    down by the junkyards.”

    “One of the gutter punk kids that came to the show and got a little TOO excited and yanked the microphone… cord attached… which made the powered sound board fly across the room and
    hit the beer and vomit soaked floor.
    That was the end of that. We had fun and had a great story to tell afterwards… which is usually how we deem things a success.”
