Matty B and the Dirty Pickles

About Me

Matty B. and the Dirty Pickles emerged in mid-July of 2004. The local music scene starved for some new, hip music and Matty B. delivered with a rockabilly revival. Who knew the "new" sound would be 50 years old? Initially the vision grasped towards the grave-robbing, horror screams of psychobilly, but surfaced to the sweet sounds of Chuck Berry and Buddy Holly. But there is nothing new about an old jukebox pumping out the retro sounds of Eddie Cochran so Matty B. injected some flavor and a little bit of poppycock into the mix. The Dirty Pickles sell the carefree rock 'n roll spirit fueled by solid electric bass and upright slap bass as well as the pulsating beats of Marky G.
If the sounds of rebellion, nostalgia, and youth make your heart beat faster then I suggest you go check out the Dirty Pickles for a high-energy assault of 50's music. From surf to psychobilly, the fun never ends. So get up, move your feet, shake your hips, and let Matty B. get you moving to the beat with his charm, melody, and his sweet pompadour.
I sold my willy for rockabilly!
