The Dirty Streets Headed West this Month
You wouldn’t be wrong to call The Dirty Streets influenced by classic rock, but more than a lot of bands who take cues from the heavy ’70s, the Memphis trio seem less concerned with the aspects of the music that are of that era than of the parts of it that are timeless. You know what I mean? They’re not trying to sound like it’s 1973 so much as they’re translating what worked about that then into something that works now. Their third album, Blades of Grass (review here), came out this summer on Alive Records and they’ve been supporting it with a steady stream of live shows ever since.
The latest batch of gigs finds the warm-groovers headed to the West Coast. Making their way out through Texas and Arizona — one can only hope they’ll make the requisite stop somewhere in the desert to take promo pictures — they’ll wind up out Californey way before swinging back through the Midwest. I’ve had my eye out hoping for some East Coast touring since the record dropped and haven’t seen it yet, but wherever they’re headed, it’s good to know they’re headed out.
