Paz, the founding member, has played for many bands including Memory 31, Hyper Traffic, d:jenifus and OysterBoy. His style was formed through studying different musicians and learning to adapt their techniques to create his own.

Until recently Paz was the only member of Dirty Static. Months of solitude resulted in key tracks being composed and recorded. With a solid material Paz was able to sign up Lonny and steve.

Dirty Static's music has been described as psycadelic, unsettling and futuristic. They welcome praise and criticism alike - all feedback is appreciated.

Reiview from evening leader - Bands warm up a cold night. By Dan Mounter. DeeCAT Festival warm up show 2008. Connah's Quay Civic Hall.

On Saturday those who came for the music enjoyed one of the most fun filled and entertaining nights the Civic has seen. The event raised funds for the main festival, which should be an absolute treat this summer. More details will be announced soon on www.deecat.co.uk

Opening the night was Dirty Static, a band unique in their ability to turn a rolling and fairly epic series of riffs into something that draws you in to their music. A deft way of writing curious yet catchy guitar lines and a very understated vocal style are complemented perfectly by raw, accurate drumming and smooth purring basslines For just three guys they make a beautiful sound that will probably fill stadiums one day.

Dirty Static was started as the brainchild of Anthony Parry (Paz to most) who founded the band after writing the orginal songs and recording them on his own. Realising the material could work live, Paz enlisted the help of Deeside bassist Steven Owen and of Rhuthin based and Canadian born drummer Lonny Danieluk to bring the songs to life.

The band have performed together for a little over two years and have started gigging heavily over the last few months. This winter sees them play North Wales, Liverpool and Chester on a three date mini tour finishing in the world famous Cavern Club in Liverpool.

To follow this, they are auditioning in Leicester for the GlastonBudget festival, which should see the band play the main festival later in the year.

With a sound akin to the likes of Muse, The Mars Volta and possibly even early Stereophonics, Dirty Static use their wide selection of influences to shape their music into the curious poppy progressive melody you hear today. Songs like OK Indicator and Techno Highway are well structured and bring truly catchy choruses that catch the imagination instantly. The guitar solo work of Paz across the top is incredibly elaborate and, seen live, the band springs to life in front of you.

Dirty Static are rehearsing hard in preparation for their gig schedule and writing new material as we speak, based on current form it promises to be even bigger and better.
