Following their forerunners\u2019 example, the quartet played several first-parts such as <strong>The Rakes, Queen Adreena, Radio4, Tokyo Sex Destruction, The Black Angels<\/strong> and many others. Meanwhile, they also recorded a first album <em><strong>50,000 Dead Girls Can&#8217;t be Wrong.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Comprising a short selection of only 7 titles, it is recorded under live conditions and mixed in two months fulfilling the then low-end and garage-rock attitude that animated the group.<\/p>\n<p>At this time, Driving Dead Girl also had an exclusive recording contract with \u201cBANG!\u201d which gave them the opportunity to perform all around Belgium and from time to time in France.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"450\" height=\"253\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/aN2WdDSMapc?feature=player_detailpage\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately the then tense atmosphere soon disrupted the shaky organization and both J-F Hermand and Andr\u00e9 Diaz left the group.<\/p>\n<p>Four years later, after several changes in the band line-up and a neared dead-end, the group finally stabilized. Newcomers <strong>Vincenzo Capizzi <\/strong>(drummer) and<strong> Dan Diaz<\/strong> (bass player) smashed in, bringing by this very fact a new balance and a new vision to the project. The news spread like a thunderbolt and proposals for concerts and records broke surface again. The band was back on line and the nouveau quartet premi\u00e8red <strong>Black Rebel Motorcycle Club<\/strong> (nuits botanique), <strong>The Black Keys<\/strong> (atelier.lu), <strong>Therapy?<\/strong> (AB) and<strong> Lords Of Altamont.<\/strong> This definitely cemented their brand new stage reputation.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"450\" height=\"253\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lKMkWbWW5oY?feature=player_detailpage\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>More recently, in January 2010, Driving Dead Girl started the realization of their second album: <em><strong>Don\u2019t Give a Damn about bad Reputation<\/strong><\/em>. In only 10 titles, the quartet enjoyed renewed success and confirmed their propensity to play and perform with a brutal energy coping with an original rock musical style wherein cinematographic and literary influences, stamped with broken-hearted sadness and despair, sometimes gave in to alcohol abuse, psyched madness and mal-\u00eatre. After several proposals the group signs a deal with the French label Bad Reputation .<\/p>\n<p>2013 : Change of course shift from wild to lazy rock&#8217;n&#8217;roll with producer<strong> Jim Diamond (The Dirtbombs, The White Stripes&#8230;)<\/strong> behind the wheel of the last incantation and<strong> Ru Catania <\/strong>on bass.
