Dragpipe was a heavy metal band from Union City, New Jersey. The band was known for their energetic live performances and developed a local following in North Jersey and across the Hudson River in New York City. [4] [5] [2] In 2001, the band was signed to Interscope Records after successfully demoing their songs for Twiggy Ramirez and Jason Newsted. [5] [2] That same year, alongside other New York City area bands such as Biohazard and Glassjaw, as well as Sacramento band Will Haven, Dragpipe submitted contributions to Driven State - A Quicksand Tribute, a proposed tribute album for the influential New York post-hardcore band Quicksand. [6]
In August 2002, Dragpipe released their debut (and only) album, Music for the Last Day of Your Life, produced by Dave Sardy ( Helmet, Rage Against the Machine, Nine Inch Nails). Following the album's debut, the band produced and released a music video featuring adult actress Kitana Baker for their song "Simple Minded." [7] [8] That same year, the band embarked on an East Coast tour and a European tour with Filter. [2] The album sold poorly (30,000 copies as of 2009) and the band was released from their record contract soon after the debut release, and they apparently disbanded. [9]
