The Dik Van Dykes were a garage punk sextet based in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada who first formed in 1985 and folded in 1989.
They released two albums, Nobody Likes...The Dik Van Dykes (1987), and Waste Mor Vinyl (1989), on the Og Records label, preceded by a limited edition indie cassette, Live At the Gown and Gavel... and countless compilation records such as the It Came from Canada series issued by OG Records (the Deja Voodoo guys).
Most of the Dik Van Dykes' songs were humorous in nature, often satirizing local and Canadian culture.
"Curling", "Birthday Song" and "Adult Gumby" were fan favorites.
In the 90s, Sarah Hodgson asked Mike (Dik) Johnson to join her band, Sinister Dude Ranch.
