DBC

Contact: deadbraincells@videotron.ca DBC stands for Dead Brain Cells. At some point, the band members jokingly referred to it as "Don't Buy Condoms", but eventually they put all interpretations aside and went with DBC. Formed under the name Final Chapter by Eddie Shahini and Gerry Ouellette . They were briefly joined on drums by Dave Zabo, who tried to recruit them into his hardcore band and wrote lyrics with the band before leaving. Shahini and Ouellette were then introduced to Jeff St-Louis by Dave Javex, who also briefly joined as vocalist and came up with the band name. Phil Dakin joined on bass and soon became lead vocalist after Javex and Cory Lowe briefly filled that slot. They played their last show in 1991, but remained together, writing new music and jamming. Dakin left for Toronto in 1993, and the band dissolved with Ouellette's death in 1994. They reunited for one show in January 2003 (with Daniel Mongrain on guitar) and again in 2005, after which they continued to play occasional shows. Some members played in the hardcore band S.C.U.M.
