THE DIRTY SKIRTS
The band formed in Cape Town, have set the South African music scene on fire! Best described as being somewhere between “Bloc Party’s existential post-punk and Clap Your Hands Say Yeah’s decadent indie dance floor renovations on this insidiously addictive confession session.”
“They immediately set out to etch the band onto South Africa’s musical Hall of Fame by independently recording and releasing their eponymous debut mini-album in 2005.”
“Singles such as “Feeling the Pressure” and “Set Me Alight” scorched up the local and student charts. Their first full length debut album On A Stellar Bender followed in 2007 Reached #1 on 5FM’s Hi 5 Chart, with Home Wrecker for two consecutive weeks, with the barnstorming single “Homewrecker” reaching 1 on a number of national radio charts.”
The Dirty Skirts have sold out some of the largest and best clubs in South Africa, they have headlined every main stage of the country’s top festivals; “they’ve successfully taken their music to the UK and the US (including performing at the SXSW festival in Austin), not to mention a spotlights worth of media attention.“
“Astonishing proposition on stage, a heady combination of effervescent joy, humour and passion. Their “raw animal power” is not to be missed!
