The more I listen to L.A. Garage Rock bands such as Dirt Dress- the more I want to pack up my stuff and fuck off to L.A. and just get lost in the music scene there. If I had the money, or if I ever won the lottery- I’d go. I wouldn’t tell anyone. I’d just go. Maybe I’d call when I got there, I don’t know. I’d probably love life too much to give anything else a second thought. If only I was selfish enough to put myself first and do something, right?
Man..I fucking love Dirt Dress. This is some raw and harsh Garage Rock right here. Would you class it as a genre? Sub-genre I guess. Well, if you want to call it a genre- it’s easily my favourite. That and Shoegaze. They’re my favourites. I don’t need to include Punk because Punk is my heart- that will never change. Garage Rock is just everything the world needs right now. Some bands that are in this genre create a sound so aggressive it makes you want to punch the nearest wall- yet they can have another song that just makes you want to dance until every limb and bone is unable to move anymore.
Dirt Dress are three extremely talented guys from the City of Angels. I seriously need to get myself there. If anyone in L.A. sees his- I’ve not got a criminal record, I have an English accent and I love music- employ me? Some may say I have nothing to offer, but give me the chance- because I have. They just don’t know me. They’re arseholes.
Alligator Lungs. I’m enjoying this track. I’m going to call this and Junk as my favourite tracks by them. This is incredible. I’ve never taken drugs, but I’m going to asume that the way Dirt Dress are making me feel right now is like having a fucking nice time on some kind of substance. I’m 25, and I’d rather have a cup of tea- shut my eyes and fall into another world than take some kind of drug to make me feel. I’ve got an old soul. An old, and possibly worn out soul.
What I love about Garage Rock is how dirty and unpolished it always sounds. I guess that’s why it is called Garage Rock. It has that innocent and simplistic feel to it- yet it is a hard sound to stay genuine to. Because some grubby paws always seem to want to cash in, and turn it into over-produced and over-hyped mundane tripe! We won’t stand for it no more. If you’ve lost your faith in music, give Dirt Dress a listen. Everything you want from a band will be found in their music.
It’s brutal, it pours out passion with twinges of fury- it is Garage Rock at its finest. I instantly fell in love with them. Remember, it is okay to fall in love instantly with a band/singer- but be cautious and careful with a person. Dirt Dress are like a hybrid of Captain Beefheart meets Richard Hell. I love this. I love this a hell of a lot. I’m in total love.
Dirt Dress, I love you. Please come to the UK. I need you.
Beat In My Bones. 
I love this. Dirt Dress is one of my very favorite bands. Obviously you are able to tell from the recordings that you’re in the presence of something special, but you really do need to seem them live, whipping through a twenty-minute set. At first I tried to see them whenever they played, but I live fifty miles away and they play sometimes three or four times a week. I hope for your sake they get a chance to go to the UK (or you get to come over here). Thank you for this post. It is gratifying to see them haled from all parts of the globe. I did a bunch of videos that are up on YouTube, but I didn’t do “Junk,” that one was done by my friend Amber. “Junk” is my favorite, a brilliant song.
Sorry: *see *hailed – I read too much stuff on the internet, and it’s spoiling my proofreading and spelling skills.
One other thing about the band: they are absolutely the least pretentious group of musicians I have ever come across.
Hey,
Thanks for your comment. Oh I’d LOVE to see them live. They’re just everything I want and need in a band. When you can sense a band plays with such passion; you truly connect with it. If I had the money, I’d fly to the States to see them live. I may start playing the lottery in hopes I win, and spend my life watching bands like Dirt Dress. Sounds ideal.
I’ll check out your covers too =) x
I love that you’re so passionate about this. I feel the same way. I live on the east coast of the US so I’d love to see these guys just as much as you do. I need a shirt. lol
Thank you! Yeah, they’re amazing aren’t they. I’ve GOT to see them live x
Update: The video of “Junk” now on YouTube is mine. My friend Amber, for some reason, took her version down. They’re not covers, though, just videos of their songs. I think I’ve done all but one of the songs that they’ve recorded up until now. Unfortunately I can no longer attend shows, so I’m out of touch with the guys and have been for a while. I don’t know if you’ve tried to get ahold of their music, but they have never done a CD. It’s all cassette tapes and vinyl. If you have trouble getting anything, e-mail me.
