Dirty York are a 6 piece Melbourne band and when they enter the stage, I can’t help but look – tall blokes and beards and I must not forget the dreadlocked lass on keys! Great bluesy grooves and rock moves and you are taken away to a space somewhere in time. Call it a bit of ‘Black Crowes’ sound, call it what you want, but this band takes you on a journey you won’t forget. With Clare Whitcombe on the Hammond organ, Benny James and Todd Bennett on guitarist (mmm….slide guitar), Luka Szpakolski on bass and singer Shaun Brown’s with his animated tamborine we are given such songs tonight as ‘take me home?’ a rock country song and ‘all my friends look like Jesus’ – yes laugh at this title.
Then they get pretty up we’re told which means time for softer song ‘crazy little thing you’re going through’. I can’t help but smile at the music with zesty beats and a profound chemistry throughout the band. The dance floor had people dancing and really enjoying the vibe of the band that is Dirty York. My only advice is to have your name on the drum kit or somewhere! As their myspace states, they boldly remind us what good rock and roll is all about
