Dee Dee Ramone I.C.L.C.

Dee Dee Ramone I.C.L.C. (Inter-Celestial Light Commune) was a solo project by Ramones bassist Dee Dee Ramone.

History

The group were formed by Dee Dee Ramone and New York City bassist John Carco (Queens/N.Y.H.C. group Misguided 1981-1984) in the spring of 1992 in New York City. Dee Dee Ramone and John Carco quickly became friends after a chance meeting at an infamous Green Door party on St. Mark's Place in 1992. After several live shows and drummers in the three piece line up the two members decided to move to Amsterdam to record two albums for Rough Trade Records World Services. The Dee Dee Ramone I.C.L.C. 4 Song EP and Dee Dee Ramone I.C.L.C. I Hate Freaks Like You were both released in 1994. The group were well known for their exciting live shows, and the group would go on to tour 22 countries in a 10-month period, though never touring the U.S..
