Many people might not know that Dirty Skirty frontman Luke Stephens works as a teaching tennis professional for a living and was a very good tennis player growing up. Dirty Skirty released the albums Long Live Rock N’ Roll (2010), which landed the #6 spot on Sleaze Roxx’s Top Ten Albums of 2010, and Rebel (2014). Stephens is also not scared to poke fun at himself.

In an exciting upcoming summer filled with big headlining shows in South Florida and festivals the band has done something they never have....fired a member.  Bassist Jeremy Slusher was an early part of the reincarnation of Dirty Skirty. However, Jeremy refused to make the sacrifices necessary and illustrate the professional attitude necessary to be in a rock band. The band will utilize it's extended family tree of Woody Harvey (Blow It Up) and local player Russ "Screaming Man" (Outlaw Tendencies) while they search for a permanent bassist. The band will not miss a beat and they wish Jeremy the best. Be sure to keep your eyes out for more Dirty Skirty dates in Florida this summer!

2014 has turned out to be a pleasant year of surprises for the boys of Dirty Skirty. The band that essentially sat dormant for a solid 3 years (aside from bi yearly reunion gig) is back in the ring playing rigs and making noise around the South Florida music scene. In April they released their sophomore album, REBEL, to the masses of the world. Thanks to adding iTunes and Spotify to the mix of distributing the albums the band has already outsold their successful LONG LIVE ROCK N' ROLL record.

Shortly after seeing the independent success of Rebel, front-man Luke Stephens knew what had to happen next; a live band. While mainstays Stovall, Stephens, and Garnell had recorded on every song for Dirty Skirty, the geographical location of the 3 limited their live ability. The new members have brought new life and flavor to the band and the reunions have now become a very strong union. Says guitar play Carson Wayne, "the scene here has long awaited a great original rock band and that is why we need to do it. I have been in this scene forever and these songs are flat out better than anything here in a while." Wayne and fellow guitar player Kenny Baker give the band the dueling live guitar sound that Dirty Skirty has always needed to make the most out of their live performances.

While most "local bands" are either playing covers, reggae, or punk DIRTY SKIRTY sticks to their guns and gives rock the right to breath new life. "I'm not in this to fuck around. We are gonna do this big and do this for the long run." -Kenny Baker, guitar. While the band came out of the gates in June swinging playing every bar show they can get their hands on, they are working on a monthly highly promoted venue gig and to open up for Nationals and do festivals. They have found home bars in Connolly's (Royal Palm Beach, FL) and Piper's (Greenacres, FL), but other than those the guys are going to be sticking to solid venues and large scale gigs.

The band will be releasing info on more gigs soon. Stephens is playing a intimate unplugged performance to his beloved Tallhassee, FL on September 19 at Club Atmosphere where he will have a party for the Rebel album. After that gig the band will release more show dates, a new single, and new photos of the band all at DIRTYSKIRTY.COM.

The band that was ready to call it a day after their debut album hung around and gave you a second helping this May with their follow-up record "Rebel." Now after the overwhelming worldwide response frontman Luke Stephens rounded up new members of the Dirty Skirty family where he currently resides in South Florida. Through the use of Craigslist Stephens was contacted by several local musicians. After auditioning 2 drummers, 7 guitar players, and 2 bassists Dirty Skirty welcomes new members so they can once again be a live act on a regular basis. Guitarists Kenny Baker and Carson Wayne join drummer Louie McDaniels and bassist Jeremy Slusher along with Stephens on vocals. While on their records the 2 guitar sound has always been a Skirty staple, guitar play Jeff Allen usually had to carry all of the weight live. Now fans can enjoy the music the way it was intended live. The band will be gigging regularly this summer from Miami to West Palm Beach and expanding their shows all over Florida as well. By the time fall rolls around look for Dirty Skirty to embark on a month long North America tour in support of Rebel.
