dirty ol band

Our good friend Steve is supposed to be writing this bio, but in true Dirty ol Band fashion, he's taking his time. In the meantime, here's a quick history of the D.O.B: it started at our local bar on a drunken St. Paddy's day 6 years ago when Ian, an old friend of Derek and Matt, introduced himself to Sean, who was propped up against a pillar mumbling something about banjos. Ian, easily recognizing him as his own kind, suggested Sean join his table and meet his two guitar playing friends, and so the Dirty ol Band was formed. Somehow, they later managed to persude Nikki, a talented and beauitful violin player to join them. For some odd reason, she has stuck with them ever since. After only three months in existence they got their first residence gig at the local Brew pub Brutopia and if you're ever in Montreal on a Sunday afternoon its a guarantee you can find the Dirty Ol Band doing a little picking and drinking there. Over time other great people have come along for the ride as well. The Dirty ol Band is now a major contributor in the roots music scene here in Montreal, with all of its members playing in various music projects happening about town. Brendan can be heard with the Sonny Best Band, Dan has played drums with the Cains and the band ef, Sean played with United Steel Workers of Montreal, Lee Mellor, and is currently playing with the Slaters, Matt plays with U.S.W.M, and both Derek and Matt can be heard on the latest High Dials album.
