Dypak
Dypak played for many years in Missoula, Olympia, and Seattle. The band consisted of James Edmunds(bass), Brodie Nelson(guitar, vocals), Corey Nelson(drums), Jeremy Leopker(guitar, vocals), and Roger(first drummer). They originated from Missoula and moved to Olympia where Brodie, James, and Corey started the band up again changing some of the old songs, but mostly writing new material. After a while they migrated north to Seattle and somewhere in there Jeremy joined the band again as another guitarist. They played shows all around seattle with such bands as Bacchus, Kled, Me Infecto, Quarterhorse, Abadox, Soylint Green, Carnenzito, Mynock, City Plums and the Volumen. They didn't care where they were playing as long as they could get a beer for free while they were there. They played a majority of there shows near the end at a local pizza place in Seattle called 2nd Ave. Pizza where they would host local punk shows which were sometimes filled with people and sometimes we played to the same 10 people we always played to. I've realized I changed to the first person, but it's easier this way. Well, anyways we slowly got bigger but began to tire of playing metal. We were matched with bands that had nothing in common with what we were playing at times. But it all went pretty well until we broke up to try something else. Oh ya we recorded a bunch of stuff but I'll try to write that in later.
Jeremy, Brodie, and Corey all started a band called Marcus Daily Mansion that played a bunch of shows and recorded twice but didn't amount to anything grand. Sadly the same issues plagued this band as the one before.
Later Brodie, Corey, and James attempted to play in another project but Corey moved away. a single tear....Band/artist history

Here's some press we've received:
The Tablet (Seattle based magazine)
"Speedball Racer leaves a void in the Seattle scene, but Olympia immigrants Dypak may soon help fill it. Dypak's brand of high-paced stoner metal did not go over well with the K Records crowd, so the band is now trying their luck in Seattle. Yeah, like Seattle isn't already chock full of scenesters with ADD."
Tablet (Seattle based magazine)
"Dypak sent Tablet their new demo CD - they get a thumbs-up right off the bat for sampling the movie Tron. I'm a Tron freak and bands that share my geeky tendencies tend to suck musically, so I was totally pleased to find that Dypak was an exception. Take a little metallic hardcore, mix in some Zeke, dirge metal and rock'n'roll, and you have Dypak. The energy of the screamy vocals makes up for the times where their music gets a little slow."

"It was a band night, but the band, Dypak, just plain sucked. They were punk, which isn't bad, but they were bad, loud, pointless punk, which is bad. They had a good drummer, though."Admin
