Dinosaurs with Horns was formed in 1982 by Joseph Hammer and Rick Potts who had collaborated on several projects both individually and as members of the loosely formed collective, the Los Angeles Free Music Society (LAFMS). In the early 90's they began performing and recording extensively with ex-Monitor, Steve Thomsen, as the trio Solid Eye including a month-long tour of Japan in 2002. Over the years Potts and Hammer have each collaborated with an impressive array of noise/sound musicians. Some of these sound artists are LAFMS cohorts like Tom Recchion, Joe Potts,Smegma and John Duncan and others are internationally acclaimed experimentalists like Otomo Yoshihide, Eugene Chadbourne, Don Preston, Thomas Dimuzio, Chris Cutler and Keiji Haino. While a smattering of material has appeared on compilations and very limited cassette and cdr releases, 'Return of the disco-aristo-sarcophagus' is the first full-lenght cd release, recorded november 2000 on KXLU radio and january 2007 at the Lace Gallery in Holywood, CA.
