HP Community Pick is a semi-regular blog series where community members have the chance to highlight a show they’re stoked about. This pick is brought to you by Aaron of Dingbat Superminx on the band Dale who performed their last performance on Friday, September 22, 2023 with Dingbat Superminx. Read all about it below!

The first time I played with Dale was at Holland, and the last time I play with Dale will be at Holland. In the time between those two shows, a lot of people asked me about Dale. I always said “You just have to see the show!”. In performance art there’s no leftovers or takeaway -either you were at the table and you ate, or you weren’t and you didn’t. Now there’s only one more chance to eat: the last Dale supper. ⁠I always tried to go on tour with bands that could entertain me night after night because their show was so bombastic. That’s why I did two tours with Dale. ⁠I love Dale because they committed to pushing things forward. A band is immortalized when it inspires others, that’s how it continues. In my opinion that’s the best way a band can live on. Long Live Dale.
