Dirty Skirty on two big 80s Festival bills
September 26, 2108
We are proud to announce that DIRTY SKIRTY has two festival shows coming up this fall! On Saturday, September 29 the band will once again be playing 80s In The Park in Palm Bay, FL. This will be the 3rd year in a row (and 4th time) that Dirty Skirty will play the Space Coast's salute to rock n' roll.
A few weeks later into the fall Dirty Skirty will be playing Rockfest 80s in Miramar (just west of Ft. Lauderdale) with the likes of Ace Frehley, Vince Neil, and Night Ranger. This will be the band's first time playing the festival which takes place November 10-11, 2018.
Dirty Skirty is a 5-piece rock n' roll band with 2 albums under their belt. 2010's Long Live Rock N' Roll was an underground rocker's dream come true with all killer and no filler from start to finish. You can put the album up against any record released the past 20 years and it won't just measure up, but it will most likely knock the competition flat on it's back. The band followed up with 2014's Rebel which moved units even faster than the predecessor. Singer Luke Stephens is the original mainstay and leader of the his pack of rock n' roll mayhem including drummer Timmy Vaughn, bassist Cezar Pentzke, and guitar players Carson Wayne and Christian McClure.
From sleazeroxx.com :
I don’t know much about Dirty Skirty aside from the fact they are from Florida, released their debut CD Long Live Rock N’ Roll earlier this year, and one of the most exciting new bands I’ve heard since The Last Vegas. Take equal amounts of Aerosmith, Buckcherry and Tesla and you will have the winning formula for Dirty Skirty‘s sound.
Lurking in the waters
July 10, 2017
Hello lads!!! Dirty Skirty is still here for you although we haven't played shows much and updated our sites you can still enjoy us on a daily basis. Just pop in your Rebel or Long Live Rock N' Roll album and it's like we are right there with you. We just did a gig with 4/5 original members in our old watering hole and had an absolute blast doing so.
Lots and lots of songs are being worked on with some familiar names in the band of old and Carson and ...Timmy are still part of the family as well. We will find the right time before the end of the year to make some noise for you.
We love you all
DIRTY SKIRTY
A long awaited updated from Dirty Skirty.

With scattered shows opening for National acts here and there as well as working on new music the band DIRTY SKIRTY is doing what independent blue collared bands do...keeping the train rolling. The past 12 months has seen the band as direct support for Buckcherry and Quiet Riot. They also played for the second year in a row at 80s In The Park 2016 with bands such as Stryper and Queensryche. With guitar player Kenny Baker tied up with his guitar-tech duties for Yngwie Malmsteen the band has replaced him with youngster Christian McClure from the band up and coming group Skar. He is bringing energy and new ideas to the band that will bleed through for their 3rd studio release.
You can already hear one of their new recordings "Ride High" right here on this site. The band has other tunes on tape and is finishing up pre-production on 3 songs as well. "It's a process that as long as we keep moving in the right direction with creating good stuff we are in good shape. I don't settle for anything but the best out of creating new songs. Every lyric has to serve a purpose and every guitar lick has to get the heads bobbing," says front man Luke Stephens. Shows are already added, lookout soon for a spring run up the state of Florida.

Band performs in front of thousands in Cape Coral
October 16, 2015
DIRTY SKIRTY took an opportunity and they not only took advantage of it, but they took themselves to a level in which they have never achieved. After playing at 80s In The Park along with Autograph, Lita Ford, and Slaughter the band was asked to open for rock n' rollers Quiet Riot. While they are focusing on new material for their 3rd album, the boys could not turn down a chance to play Bike Night in Cape Coral, FL. They blazed through their anthems Ride, Dirty Angel, and Red Light Go with the energy you would expect from a seasoned act who plays arenas. It was during the ballad Spill Your Heart Out Tonight that they slowed it down enough to really pull in the audience prior to the closer of Long Live Rock N' Roll. Be on the lookout for new music and big shows from DIRTY SKIRTY in 2016.

Dirty Skirty parts ways with bassist
April 30, 2015
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!

Dirty Skirty picks up the pace. A new single is on the way!
September 16, 2014
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.
