| About The Dirty Things |
.. width="425" height="350">..>
Continuing to defy genre labeling, The Dirty Things draw from forgotten underground acts of the 60's, 70's, and 80's with a modern, almost pop spin. This Chicago three piece formed on the post-punk pretense but has evolved adding acoustic guitar and unique song structures giving them the staying power to outlast the fad. With a unique blend piercing guitar, a thunderous backbeat, and hip-shaking bass rhythms, The Dirty Things' undeniably intoxicating live show will undoubtedly draw those lingering wallflowers in the shadows onto dance floors everywhere.

TAMARA CONNIFF [EXEC EDITOR - BILLBOARD MAGAZINE]
"THE DIRTY THINGS are the hottest unsigned band out there. They really know how to rock."
JIM DEROGATIS [CHICAGO SUN-TIMES]
"The 'new wave of new wave' continues to be strong in this town as well, and the Dirty Things are one of the better bands in this vein, drawing on the influences of Wire, the Gang of Four and the early Cure on a five-song EP called 'Movement Making Noises.' On songs such as the aptly titled 'New Dance,' the young quartet easily betters the Rapture, if not bands like Franz Ferdinand and Clinic."
MELISSA MAERZ [CITYPAGES.COM]
"When the Dirty Things play 'Stop,' I can't. The tick-tock bass lines, the harried vocals, the quick sweep of sticks across skins--every instrument this Chicago group plays seems designed to make now into then. As the rhythm section zigzags up to the last beat, the music looks backward, to Wire and early Cure and guitars that trace out Mir squiggles in the air. There's art-punk, post-funk, and some other great old junk, but at the core of each tune is just a jagged rock song, teetering in full swing so that it looks like dancing."
