Death Of Samantha

Death Of Samantha

David James left and was replaced by Dave Swanson. Marky Ray (the terrible parade, Death On A Stick, others) replaced Dave Swanson in 1990 and stayed until the band's break-up in 1992.

The band's name was taken from a B-side song by Yoko Ono at the last minute before Petkovic, James and Steve-O played their first gig at a Ground Round restaurant in Parma Heights, Ohio in 1984. Petkovic was an employee at the chain restaurant at the time. His position was terminated for the impromptu gig that caused families to walk out, bills unpaid and food left uneaten on the tables.

DOS were signed by Gerard Cosloy to Homestead Records after the band released two singles on the Cleveland collective label St. Valentine's Records. The band went on to release an EP and two more LPs, touring the Midwest and East coast throughout the late 80s before touring the West coast in 1990. Their final album was never released. (Note" the final album was originally called "Egomania Love Songs" and was produced by Sean Beavan nine inch nails' engineer)

In 1992 John Petkovic formed Cobra Verde with former DOS members Doug Gillard and Dave Swanson (who moved to drums).
