Dirty Laundry has spent the past four years ripping up dance floors
across the country, cementing their reputation as one of Australia's
most dynamic and exciting live acts.
Founding members JJ Styles and Dean Cherny lovingly nurtured the
band through its infancy, recruiting legions of fans, and more than
a few "dirty little groupies" by maintaining a gruelling
and relentless schedule of touring that has not let up since 2004.
Following a path more commonly pursued by rock and indie bands, Dirty
Laundry have positioned themselves perfectly to unleash their unique
and refreshing sound on a wider and largely unsuspecting audience.
Nothing can really prepare you for the Dirty Laundry experience -
it's non-stop hands in the air fist pumping action full of good times,
tight rhymes and funky ass bass-lines. A hybrid collection of live
instrumentation, live vocals and electronica. The idea for the band
was inspired by the likes of Basement Jaxx, Faithless, Groove Armada
and Massive Attack, artists that brought entertainment and musicianship
back to dance music, something that had been missing since the days
of disco.
Having recently undergone a facelift, Dirty Laundry currently consists
of JJ Styles (Production/DJ/Keyboard), Dean Cherny (Production/DJ/Jack
of all trades), Lee Lee (Female Vocals), Pete Hypes (Male Vocals),
Mathew Charles (MC), Stevie Richards (Sax) and Cisco "the Latin
Lover" (Percussion).
Dirty Laundry has developed a new audio visual show featuring original
animation, created by award winning graphic designers Spin, that adds
a further dimension to their already acclaimed live performance. The
animation has been specifically designed to accompany the music and
allow Dean and JJ to chop, slice, scratch and mix the video live and
in perfect unison.
Now in the final stages of production, Dirty Laundry's eagerly awaited
first studio album is due for release late 2008. The boys have teamed
up with some of Australia's most talented producers, including Timothy
Dudfield (aka Mr Timothy), Andy J (aka Sgt Slick) and Maarcos Kwong
(1/3 of The Usual Suspects) to craft a mix of funk infused, disco
spiked electro pop.
'Disco Infected', the first single off the album, is a catchy guitar
laden vocal track which will hit stores on June 21st and is sure to
reaffirm Dirty Laundry's status as one of this country's most loved
electronic acts.
