Described as “Detroit garage rock with the urgency of mid-seventies New York punk and L.A. skinny tie power pop”, their sound and song-writing is crafted with plenty of hooks, high energy and shake appeal.
The Dirty Novels have been playing phenomenal rock and roll since 2002. With three albums and plenty of U.S. touring they have gained a reputation from NYC to LA for solid and rousing performances that will always get you fired up!
They have played with MC5/DKT, Kings of Leon,Rev. Horton Heat, The Von Bondies, HorrorPops, The Datsuns, Bad Wizard, Exene Cervenka & The Original Sinners, Willowz, The Heart Attacks,The Appleseed Cast, Demolition Doll Rods, 7 Shot Screamers, The Hard Lessons and The Ettes to name a few.
Soundtrack and Radio The Dirty Novels can be heard on MTV soundtracks in episodes from "Parental Control", "Bromance" and "Kaya" and more. They can also be heard on radio shows like Genya Ravan's “Goldie’s Garage” on Little Steven's Underground Garage, BP Fallon's "Wang Dang doodle" on BreakThruRadio and Jezz Harkin's "Get In The Van" on BreakThruRadio.
They say that… “Their live act is everything you would hope for after hearing the album. It all boils down to this: if you love unpretentious, catchy, balls-to-the-wall garage rock that you can get up and dance to... go see the Dirty Novels when they come to your town. All they need is somebody to hook them up with Little Steven and have them play a couple of his garage-a-thons and they'll be packing ‘em in at dingy rock clubs from coast to coast.” – www.lucidculture.wordpress.com
