Biography
Didjits, an American punk rock band formed in Mattoon, Illinois in 1981, consisted of Rick Sims on guitar/vocals, Doug Evans on bass, and Brad Sims on drums. They initially performed locally under the name UXB before transitioning to Didjits by 1983. Their first album, Fizzjob, was released in 1986 on Bam Bam Records. The band's aggressive guitar playing and theatrical stage presence quickly gained them a following. In 1988, they released Hey Judester through Touch & Go Records. Their 1990 album, Hornet Piñata, featured the song "Killboy Powerhead", later covered by The Offspring on their breakthrough album Smash. Brad Sims left the band in 1992, with Rey Washam and then Todd Cole taking over as drummer. Didjits disbanded in 1994 following the release of their final album, Que Sirhan Sirhan, but briefly reunited in 2006 for a series of shows. Evans passed away on December 28, 2016.
