Dirty Heads has made their rounds. A
favorite indie/reggae/hip-hop alt band that embodies the summer
sounds of a lazy Southern California afternoon hanging out with your
best mates, drinking a tall cool one ask you soak up the warm summer
sun laid out bliss on a music fest. Really when you think summer the
name Dirty Heads almost seems synonymous with everything summer
brings. Happy, contented, comfortable-joy.
Having played as co-headliners,
headliners and in rotation on the tour market heavily it would seem
as the Dirty Heads have progressed and now releasing their fifth
album, self-entitled, the sounds of the Dirty Heads has come round to
being a sweet, ripe copious pick of really great sound.
Recently Dirty Heads were out on tour
with Sublime with Rome, and at a stop over in Phoenix, Arizona on
July 31st they rendered utter bliss. With ease the Dirty
Heads took the audience by in large because of what they have
developed- a rich mature sound that raises your spirits high. You
want to dance, you want to listen, you want to sing along... Dirty
Heads makes you feel thoroughly satisfied... their groove is
sublimely in motion and you wanted more. This performance could have
been held just by the Dirty Heads and according to many in the
audience this concurrence came round that many were in attendance
specifically for them. As the fans were lining up outside the venue
you can hear the excited chatter to see them, plus the Dirty Heads
T-shirts were numerous.
Pulling from all five of their albums,
Dirty Heads opened with “Burn Slow” off their Sound of Change
album. The tracks from this album they played included: “My Sweet
Summer,” (the audience was on their feet and elated as Dirty Heads
delivered this tune with all their soul), also, “Franco Eyed,”
“Medusa,” and “Silence.” After “My Sweet Summer” the room
was carried further as the Dirty Heads imparted the next tune off of
their album Cabin by the Sea, “Dance All Night.”
The righteousness of rock was what the
Dirty Heads released all through their set. The anticipation their
fans exuded was satiated. Covering songs also from their album, Home:
Phantoms of Summer- The Acoustic Sessions, this was the best
presentation of who these cats have become. The reggae/hip hop/alt
rock sounds of band mates Dustin
Bushnell (Vocals/Guitar) Jared Watson (Vocals) Jon Olazabal
(Percussion) Matt Ochoa (Drums) David Foral (Bass)
have arrived and their album released in 2016, Dirty Heads,
breathed in five tunes on this tour: “MoonTower,” “Oxygen,”
“Red Lights,” “That's All I Need,” “Too Cruel” their
whole set was a gift to all their fans.
It was a full house, packed to the brim
and the Dirty Heads, as only they can, brought it all around.
Bushnell and Watson are the illustrated match to follow for their
supreme complementary vocal exchanges. Catch them out on tour as
they now are headlining well into the autumn and winter months ahead
in 2016. They kick ass and their sound has hit the mark of holy
reggae/hip-hop grid.
