The Dash have torn through London's hottest venues with their acrobatic and frenzied stage shows and adrelanine fuelled grimy assault of pure punk.
The Dash have built up their reputation gigging around London, doing regional shows and some European dates for around two years, supporting the likes of The Libertines, Art Brut, Babyshambles, Glen Matlock, Larrikin Love, Pure Reason Revolution, Biffy Clyro and Editors amongst others. They have played sold out nights at Barfly, Marquee, The Garage, Surfstock Festival, Middlesex University Summer Festival, the sadly missed Infinity, 93 Feet East and Death Disco as well as play in front of 1,200 fans at Camden Koko, London's bright hopes also found time to jet across the pond to rock New York's The Delancey.
The band played at 2007’s The Great Escape Festival in Brighton in May, joining CSS, Art Brut, Hot Club De Paris, Vincent Vincent and the Villains, Mumm-Ra, Willy Mason and Yes Boss on the line-up as well as the recent 1234 Shoreditch Festival alongside Har Mar Superstar, Dogs, Ali Love and The Paddingtons

The Dash have recently released their debut single 'Broomhouse Road' through Weekender Records to rave reviews including:
"The purity of their now infamous live performances transcends perfectly onto disc, smell the sweat, taste the beer, feel the forearm in your back as the raw, energetic, adrenaline-fuelled sound of ‘Broomhouse Road’comes through your stereo leaving your speakers discoloured with a thick layer of London dirt. Expect big things." GIGWISE
"The Dash catches the boyish charm and anger of The Clash with the carefree exuberance of The Libertines, making for an intoxicatingly addictive concoction that spits angrily along to a melodic energy that instantly engages and refuses to let go." ROOM THIRTEEN
"Sparring riffs, knee jerking brittleness grafted on to a raw and potent undercarriage of alarmingly infectious boot blistering boogie - dare you resist." ROUGH TRADE
Their infamous live performances leave the stage in ruins as blood, beer and sweat coat the remains of smashed and battered instruments. Seeped in passion and honesty and coated with a thick layer of London dirt, the music comes straight from the heart of every underground gutter punk club, without ignoring the impact of the unforgettable chorus.
The Dashettes - the band's fans - even staged a party at one of London's Broomhouse Rd for a playback of the band's first demo and new single. Their first demo ‘Alone No More’ was produced by the renowned Gordon Raphael, after he saw the lads playing live and offered to work with them for free. Their live show is raw, passionate and energetic, just like their music. Combining indie/punk ideals with a marketable pop sensibility, the band capture audiences with their personal thought-provoking lyrics and their catchy appealing musical scores.
