The Dik Van Dykes had more than its fair share of attention having played What Wave Benefits (1986), art show openings and their demo going to #1 at CFMU. The Hamilton Spectator and Style Magazine both described the band as "Art-rock" due to two back-up singers and art school connections, but they were actually from the school of high camp with their Cramps/Deja Voodoo styled musical minimalism and sound collisions.
