The pioneers shake Seville with their live punk, and leave a trail of the most powerful rock throughout ten dates that The Dictators they performed on their Spanish Tour 2023.
Among all the multitude of bands that are labeled as precursors of Punk, there is The Dictators. Another crowd is the one that gathered at the Room to see them, many of them repeating: “It’s the music of my adolescence.” These are the ones who, when recording a video of the event, did it horizontally, and yet vertical ones also abounded. So there was some revivalism and nostalgia in the atmosphere, but not entirely. The atmosphere was very electric because of the music and the expectation.
Since 1972, New Yorkers know what they’re doing. Its sound is still energetic, raw y straight. Distorted guitar for powerful riffs and lyrics that are often humorous, rather sarcastic and provocative, an irreverence that was present in the literature and culture of the 1970s, with a special NY touch.

Since 1972 there has been a lot of rain, and different formations have followed one another. The current one includes Keith Roth as a vocalist and guitarist, Ross The Boss on the guitar, Andy Shernoff in the bass and Albert Bouchard in the battery. Only Ross and Keith were there at the beginning. It should be noted that this is the first tour without Richard Manitoba as a singer. Bouchard is neither more nor less than a drummer for Blue Öyster Cultso there is little coincidence that they played Dominance and Submission.
The recital began with New York, New York. The repertoire focused on their 2001 album, the stupendous D.F.F.D., that unexpectedly outstanding work in his brilliant and fragmented career. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys classic, powerful rock. In fact, the moment of Who Will Save Rock and Roll?, from this album, was the most intense of the night. A surprise, not so surprise really, was What Goes On? of The Velvet Underground.

Breaking the streak lately in the Room of concerts that were short because they were, the Dictators kept us entertained until we were satisfied, as far as possible, because there is no stop for Rock. At this point, your tour of Spain will be over.
The Dictators They influenced iconic Punk and Rock bands. The “Ramones They took note of The Dictators’ direct attitude and raw sound, which contributed to the formation of the signature punk sound of the ’70s and ’80s. The Dictators’ influence on later bands and their unique style make them a fundamental part of the evolution of the genre and musical culture in general. His legacy lives on in punk music and continues to be recognized and respected by musicians and fans around the world. And they were in Room X live. There it is nothing.
