Having complete independence from the industry and being powered from the beginning by the star brilliance of “Magic” Dave Mussen, the Distorted Penguins have become a household name in the east coast scene. Since Magic Dave’s tragic death in April of 2000, the remaining members of DP have adjusted their line-up in order to keep Dave's message alive. DP has combined power pop, rock, and a horn section to create an energetic and fast-paced style they have deemed “falling rock.”
With a countless number of performances at world-famous rock clubs, festivals, colleges, bars, nightclubs, and community centers, DP has worked feverishly to reach the masses. Because of their versatile style, they have performed with national acts the likes of Blues Traveler, 2 Skinnee J’s, Reel Big Fish, Less Than Jake, Talib Kweli, Mos Def, N.E.R.D, Rahzel, Jimmie's Chicken Shack, Buzz Poets, Violent Femmes, Blue Oyster Cult, Blessid Union of Souls, My Weakday Night, and O.A.R, to name a few.
In the past few years DP has toured nationally as well as hitting regions of the east coast in order to gain new fans and promote their albums in 100% D.I.Y fashion. Keep it real!

Distorted Penguins Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Boy meets girl, falls in love with girl
Doesn't want no one but her wants her
How it ends nobody knows, but they might end up together
Either way he's ever-changed by her
Sleepless nights never ending days
Wandering 'round in a help-less daze
Deep inside your bright brown eyes
Don't ever question how I feel inside.
You may say I'm crazy, well I'm crazy about you
Can you blame me?
You know how the days go by life's never been much better
Realize now he never had a clue
About what love really is but it looks like he's enlightened
This time, He's a man brand-new.
Love, me like you do
And it will come right back to you
Don't ever question how I feel inside.
You may say I'm crazy well I'm crazy about you
Can you blame me?
