Formed in October of 2010, dimtribe is made up of Richard Nguyen, Robert
Emmons and Chris Collier. Dimtribe is a Heavy Alternative rock band from
Santa Clarita, CA.
In the winter of 2009 Richard Nguyen set out to write a record that would
serve as a pet project to be done at his own leisure. This project was
dubbed “The Definition”. After finishing an album’s worth of material, he
enlisted in studio players for the effort. When the first iteration of studio
players chosen for the project didn’t pan out. Richard reached out to an old friend
for help behind the drum kit; Chris Collier. After Chris came into the fold the
band started to take shape. Chris reached out to Robert Emmons to come
in and play bass. The first practice ignited a spark within each of them and
dimtribe became a full-fledge performing band in the fall of 2010. The trio put
together 6 songs in a week and recorded an EP 2 weeks later.
Musically, dimtribe creates a wall of sound with moody guitars, huge grooves
and propulsive rhythms, while emotional lyrics and melodies neatly layer
on top of it all. The band’s influences range from Metallica, Pantera, Korn,
Meshuggah, Deftones and Incubus to STP, As I lay dying and even Coldplay.
After a year and a half, dimtribe has been steadily building momentum
as one of the Santa Clarita’s most promising acts. Richard, Robert and
Chris seem to feed off one another's energy on stage. The live aspect of
dimtribe is where the magic happens. Their fierce energy and professionalism
constantly win over crowd after crowd. When they want your attention they
will get it.
The group’s first full length record, “The Definition” was
released on March 30, 2012.
