Dirty Weekend Breaks

Getting down with the Dirt in Stockwell.

I had a fat free pass and caught some Dirtburg at the Queens Head in Stockwell on Saturday. Woooooo. Get some crotch level video action from the beastly night below - featuring three sweaty MC's and one DJ [beasti-like] with a side order of dirty drum-n-bass sticks and utterly filthy scratchy guitar. Dig more dirt on Facebook here or watch more dirty dirtburger action at the Monarch in Camden there. P.S. As Ringo from the band just pointed out the sound is shite on these recordings but was honestly crisp on the night. Finger on the mic? Probably. P.P.S. Apparently if you could actually make out what they were saying it would give you a hernia anyway.

Dirtburg take down the Monarch

London hip hoppy superstars get it together again.

Morning campers. I've just dropped the kid off at the childminder and eaten a Pot Noodle for breakfast [the curry one] to clear my head. Out of the blue last week I get a Facebook event alert - Dirtburg are back for one night only at the Monarch in Camden. I'm there. I used to catch these guys all over north London back in the early naughties. It's all a bit of a haze but I remember seeing the Dirt rock at the Spitz, some bar in Dalston and over at the filthy 333. My old mate Arjun and his buddy JC introduced me to the Dirt. You had to be there. Was great to catch up with Arjun, Nadine, Shazzer, Ian, the quiet one, Matt and the Pip lookalike last night. Just like old times. Dirtburg rocked.

Below are a few YouTube video memories. If you like this then download Dirtburg's never released EP on MySpace. Go get it I say.

Why the head f@@@? Turns out the drummer in the band [his name is Nick] is now doing a day job at Wunderman. I like Wunderman. I'm following @WundermanUK on Twitter. It turns out the gig was bank-rolled by them. Weirder still. Someone called Shannon from Wunderman is presenting "What’s going on? Social Media" at the MeetUp I'm off to on the 14th December. What's going on indeed. Small world int-it-er-web.
