Dekkar is an American rock band founded by Tim Heidecker and Axiom Serradimigni, and currently fronted by Axiom, Manuel Giusti, and Corwin Allard.
History
Tim Heidecker, having previously experimented in songwriting with the song Oscar Fever, written for the 2nd Annual On Cinema Oscar Special, began to take a deeper interest in music after writing and performing Our Values are Under Attack for Decker: Port of Call: Hawaii. Heidecker met a man at Guitar Center, Alessandro Serradimigni, who owned a small record label named “Axiom Records” in Italy. Heidecker and Serradimigni, also nicknamed “Axiom,” immediately “clicked” and began working together on a record under the band name “Dekkar.”
During production of On Cinema at the Cinema Season 7, Heidecker released the band's first single, Empty Bottle, with Heidecker on vocals & lead guitar (though he is seen playing bass guitar in the music video and all future performances) and Axiom on backup vocals, rhythm guitar, and drums. Production on the album continued through Season 7.
During the 4th Annual On Cinema Oscar Special, Dekkar gave a live performance of several songs, including Empty Bottle and a new song called the Oscar Medley, which included the names of that year's Best Picture nominees in the lyrics.
