DIRTBLONDE


This is not your average Rock 'n Roll band.

Fuelled by drum machine beats, Dirtblonde sounds like a crash between Suicide, Beat Happenning and The Stooges.

Visceral, menacing, bloody and poetic. 

Hailing from Liverpool, but sounding nothing like Liverpool bands (their words) they have played all over the UK, in Brazil and America (including a successful appearance at SXSW), bringing chaos and menace wherever they've been and receiving praise from the likes of BP Fallon, John Kennedy (XFM) and Steve Lamacq.

Essential listening are their debut EP, White Noise, Rubber Heart,  and the limited edition cassete Brooklyn/White Horses. You can have a taste of them here.

The Hangmen by Dirtblonde



Being already legends in the UK underground without being part of any particular scene, they had a quiet 2010 for reasons beyond their control but now are back with a string of gigs in Liverpool and London. to begin their 2011 assault. Not to be missed in any way!

Live Dates:
21/03/11: MOJO, Liverpool (with The Heartbreaks) 7pm, FREE
