With progressive, fuzzy rock weirdness and vocals capable of inciting madness, two piece rock group Dirty Dirty exploded on to the scene in 2015 with their self-titled debut EP. What I find most remarkable about the group is that they are skilled enough to impress prog rock fans and other musicians, but within the context of actual songs… the kind of songs stick with music fans of all stripes, even after they’re done nodding along with band’s technical acumen - Tim Basaraba
Dirty Dirty is one of the most interesting bands in Seattle. Their brand of post-punk fusion is unique and refreshing, and their songs absolutely kill. When the duo took the stage, it felt like they were the headliner. Ian Forrester (vocals & guitar) and Mark Knowles (drums) were supported by a large and vocal crew of supporters.
Poorly angled lighting made it difficult to see the band or take photos, but that didn’t seem to bother fans. After a few songs, the bouncing crowd turned into a mosh pit, creating an unexpected and entertaining side show. Forrester’s vocals are raw and powerful while Knowles’ drumming skips and wanders enough to keep you on your toes. This is a “must see” band. - Gary Horn

Bio
Using the limitations of their members Dirty Dirty writes with the influence of dance, punk and blues music for a stripped down and raw voice of rock and roll. Influenced by the avant garde noises of Lightning Bolt and Fugazi, to the much more popular sounds of Queens Of The Stone Age or Jack White, Dirty DIrty writes songs to both capture and surprise listeners with fuzzy bass, active and driving drums, melodious howling vocals, and energetic live performance.
They spent the last year performing Seattle and its satellite cities while releasing their debut EP in April with former drummer Ian Harper. Now with Mark Knowles running percussion, Dirty Dirty is using he foundation of what was started to tighten up the machinery and smooth out the edges.
