Hello friends ! We will discover the universe of THE DIRTY DENIMS but especially their new album.
Present yourself to the readers
We are The Dirty Denims, we play Happy Hardrock, a mix from Hard Rock, Power Pop, Scandinavian & Australian Rock ‘n Roll and Punk Rock. AC/DC meets Joan Jett meets KISS meets The Ramones. We are from The Netherlands and we are 2 rockchicks and 2 rocking dudes: Suzanne on drums, Mirjam on vocals/guitar, Marc on bass and Jeroen on guitar.
What’s the story for READY,STEADY,GO! ?
It’s our brand new album! We also have a song Ready, Steady, Go!. It’s an uptempo rocker for people who love bands like Airbourne and Thundermother and it tells the story about how much we were looking forward to play again. It’s the first album with Suzanne on drums and Marc on bass.
Who composes ?...How does it work in the band ?
Jeroen is our songwriter and it starts most of the time with the guitar: chords or a riff. He works out a demo and then he brings it to the rehearsal room for us to try things on.
Who writes the texts ?..What are they talking about ?..How does inspiration come ?
The lyrics start with Jeroen, and often Mirjam finishes some lines. On the new album we have songs about 80’s movie the Gremlins, the bad music on the biggest radio stations these days, alcohol (why not!), annoying people on the public transportation, AC/DC (Thunder From Down Under), H&M bandshirts (Band Not A Brand) and we even have a love song! But we will not tell a lovesong about what 😉
Why the name THE DIRTY DENIMS ?
We are very inspired by all-girl band The Donnas (from USA) and they have a song called Dirty Denims, just put ‘The’ before and a ‘S’ on the end and you have a band name, it’s as simple as that!
What's your best live memory ? And why ?
We played on some big Dutch festivals, Zwarte Cross and Lowlands. They are definitely a few of the coolest ones because it was unexpected amazing. But we also had a lot of great crowds in Germany, like on Nitrofest Hannover and Freak Valley Xmas Fest Siegen. Our own latest Release Party at POPEI Eindhoven was also a dream come true: a house full of people who came especially for us!
