Dee Dee Ramone I.C.L.C. (Inter-Celestial Light Commune) was a band project featuring Ramones bassist Dee Dee Ramone and New York City bassist John Carco (Queens/N.Y.H.C. band Misguided 1981-1984).[1]
History
The band were formed by Ramone and Carco in 1994 in New York City. They 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 for Rough Trade Records' World Services. The 4-song EP Chinese Bitch and the album I Hate Freaks Like You were both released in 1994. The band were well known for their exciting live shows and would go on to tour 22 countries in a 10-month period, though never touring the U.S. During work on their second full-length album, the band were dropped by their label. Some of those songs would eventually be recorded by the Ramones on their final album !Adios Amigos![2][1]
With this development, John Carco left the band and moved to Los Angeles where he formed the band Metro with Peter Stahl. Dee Dee Ramone formed the Ramones tribute band The Ramainz with his wife Barbara Zampini and former Ramones members Marky Ramone and C. J. Ramone. [1]
