Dutch Oven

Drunk Dirt Rock

About Me

Dutch Oven formed in early 2002, in Montreal, Canada. The members met while employed as groundskeepers at a local mental hospital. They were all fired after the administration caught wind of the fact that certain employees - three in particular - had been offering free rides on their tractors to some of the patients in exchange for their medication. Having sobered up from the incredible bender following their “retirement” party, the three decided to take a stab at a somewhat more interesting line of work, albeit no more financially rewarding than property maintenance. With a beer bond firmly in place, the dirty drunk rock was born.The trio, comprised of frontman D. (guitar/yells), C.B. (bass/screams), and Kevbonics (drums/hums) [retired], spent the early part of their existence hammering out songs in between beers. Eventually they realized this was completely counter-productive and resolved to keep their beers firmly in hand throughout. With a solid clutch of songs, Dutch Oven took their sonic bulldozer to the stage and hasn’t looked back since. The group has consistently performed live throughout - both in Canada and the United States - having shared the stage along the way with countless established acts and underground legends such as Sons of Otis, Dixie Witch, The Mighty Nimbus, Ogre, We’re All Gonna Die, Red Elite, Maximum Rn’R, Brant Bjork & The Bros., Iron Giant, Pride Tiger, Die Mannequin, Panthers, Fiftywatthead, Protest The Hero and Floating Widget. Dutch Oven released their debut album entitled “Now Serving” in December of 2003, and followed up with the “Audible Silence” EP in the spring of 2004. Their second drummer Jimbo, who joined the ranks in early 2005 and recorded their sophomore release entitled “Electric Last Minute” [Gaia Disk] disappeared under “Spinal Tap” circumstances within a year and was replaced by a man named Mucky, with whom they recorded the “Weird Science” EP. In keeping with tradition, Mucky soon faded out and was replaced by Bad Luck Tony. The band is currently preparing material for their next full length album, while promoting the brand new “Empty Pockets” EP. Here for the long haul, Dutch Oven continues to bring their brand of loud love to the masses.RANDOM DRUNKS- DUTCH OVEN AT BAR ST LAURENT2
