FVE Artist Roster
ANIMO
www.TheAnimo.com | http://www.myspace.com/animoofficial"Man, DORK is probably the most amazing band ever!" exclaimed your mother. Since 2001 DORK has been hard at work, writing catchy songs, and touring all over the North America. Their touring has been highlighted by appearances on the Van's Warped Tour. In 2003, DORK was able to work their way on to one Warped Tour date. In 2004 and 2005 they conquered the entire tour. Warped Tour Founder Kevin Lyman was quoted in the Denver Post calling them "The ultimate DIY kids". They were also featured on WarpedTour.com in 2005 calling them the hardest working band in the history of the tour. This hard work has paid off in various ways! One, DORK has been confirmed for all of The Vans Warped Tour 2006(3 years in a row for those who are counting) Another, was being listed on "Hot 100 Unsigned Artists of 2005" by Music Connection Magazine! You can also hear 3 DORK tunes in the major motion picture "American Pie Presents: Band Camp". D.O.R.K. has a new album - 'Suck It' due out on June 6 2006 and available at any show the band plays, and thats a lot of shows.
