The Dirt Parade

About Me

This is what happens when two guys from Aiken, South Carolina now based n Atlanta Ga who have played music together for 10 yrs decide to break out the synthesizers,plug in the guitars, program the beatbox, demolish the drums and sing like choir boys .They have played numerous shows all over the United States and opened for such renowned acts as LOVEDRUG,JUMP LITTLE CHILDREN,DEZERAYS HAMMER,THE DRIVE -BY TRUCKERS,PATTERSON HOOD, BAND OF HORSES just to name a few. Its been said that you could never take the sound of My Bloody Valentine and put it up against the innovation of Radiohead, the songwriting of Micheal Jackson, Marvin Gaye, Neil Finn and Peter Gabriel , the production of Quincy Jones and Pharrell , the no rules approach of Jazz and Punk , then throw in a smidge of Phil Collins Well thats what you have here ....something OLD but NEW , something Familiar and Strange . If your ass shakes and your mind is blurry and your heart feels like it might explode then this is the band for you . This is The Dirt Parade
