I have a feeling that if Iggy Pop came of age in the 1950s, his band would sound something like Dirt Dress. It’s as if early punk rock had a one night stand with a bebop band, and Dirt Dress was the bastard love child. Noah, who is responsible for vocals and lead guitar, has a voice that is reminiscent of the Pixies’ Black Francis, which couldn’t be more complimentary. The other two-thirds of Dirt Dress are Jose and Raymond, playing bass/rhythm guitar and drums respectively. With songs such as "Junk", "Stray Cats" and "Sonic Death", they manage to sound as though they were plucked out of the mid eighties. They inject enough modernity into the equation to keep their sound fresh and original while remaining familiar. Their music is well suited to semi dangerous skateboarding excursions, impromptu late night dinners at the local Mexican place and skinny dipping anywhere you shouldn’t be swimming. If these activities excite you, check them out.
