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 ↴
Disaat kau datang menghampiri
Teringat oleh semua bayangan dirimu TERIAK KU DALAM AMBISI
Kini ku coba berdiri untuk pertanyakan siapa nama dirimu itu.
Kau menjawab dengan senyuman manismu itu membuatku jauth dan tersipu .
Terhempas disaat ku melihat kau dengannya .
Tapi kucoba berdiri untuk melawan rasa sakit yang ada di hati .
Ku ber tahan untukmu ...
Ku berlari tanpa henti .
(TUK DAPATKAN HATIMU)
Dan ku kan berkata .
Ku kan menunggu .
and do you want to be my girlfriends .
