The Dirty Suits Love KXLU.

"The cool thing about KXLU's Demolisten show was if you were a local band you could just call in, request your song and if you went down there, they would interview you... I was listening to KXLU all day long because that's where all the good music was. The rest of the world was out of it."- Perry Farrell

  This is perfect proof that KXLU is one of the greatest college radio stations on the planet. The Dirty Suits played there for liveation last month and we'll be playing there again next month for Jaime's Birthday.

The Dirty Suits Salute and Thank Kat Griffin at KCSN.

Thank You Kat Griffin for playing us on 88.5FM KCSN.  Kat's show is a blend of Americana Rock n' Roll, and she specializes in playing the best of  up and coming bands in Los Angeles every Saturday after noon.  Last Saturday, she was doing a small spot light on punk bands and she featured Jaime's song "got no cense" off of his first album (ready for trouble) which is pre- dirty suits, so big salute to her again because after the song was done she concluded with "if you go to rustys surf ranch on friday may 28th, that is what you will here"...  We love being played on your radio show- it makes us feel like you're giving us a big hug and we really appreciate it.

go on to www.kcsn.com or call (818) 677-3090 and request one of our tunes that you feel Kat should also play, after all KCSN is "the music YOU want" and if you request Jeremy's blues ballad "bull fighter" maybe she will pass it on to Ann the Raven's blues on Saturday night right after Kat's show.

Rumors of Music Videos were swirling through their heads.........

So eras change. Remember when MTV was new and fresh? Time to make some vids that hearken back to the days of yore. Rumor has it that the Dirty Suits are going to be working with a certain talented Filmmaker whose name cannot yet be further divulged just yet. If there are any other film geniuses out there that want to try out your hand working with a sanctified Los angeles Rock band, let us know. Or we may even hold a contest where you can make your own video using our music, and the winner gets.......................
To Be Determined.
Point is, we are ready for YOUTUBE. We're ready for the big screen, the small screen, and everything in between. Help us get there with your soon to be award winning editorial touches.

Happy Birthday Elisa.........

Friday night was Beer Pong night after rehearsal. Me and Elisa verse Jaime and Marshaune. It was the night going into Elisa's 24th birthday. Chris had to miss out because he began filming on his movie. The next night I heard a rumor that not only are we going to be playing KXLU for Jaime's birthday next month, but there may be a live broadcast from Canter's Kibitz room later on in June also. Will let you all know when it's confirmed.........

New Fun Traditions.

We have a new fun tradition for the Dirty Suits shows. We want YOU to show up to our performances decked out in your Favorite SUIT. Make it crazy. If you don't have a suit you adore, go get a crazy one and deck yourself out. We're going to make it a party and we want everyone involved. Bring beach balls, etc.

Testing Testing Testing

Sorry all, I've been a bit busy lately and have been neglecting my blogging duties. Currently working for the Census Bureau helping the Government to get a proper count of our great City. We the Dirty Suits are currently getting ready for some Summer gigs, including Jaime's Birthday gig at O'briens which will then be followed up by a late night visit to KXLU. That's going to be a real hootenanny, and you all are invited to come with us to the studio and make some noise. This month we're keeping our nose to the grindstone, working on some new songs, and getting ready for Rusty's SurfRanch the 28th.
Warm Regardz,
Jeremy Blue

Dannys Bar

Last Friday, Johnny ‘Flyn' Lion’ Abbie Mitchell invited us down to showcase a couple of songs. We had our brand new drummer Elisa Suarez on board, as well as Christopher Alice on lead guitar. First I did my brand new song ‘down so long’ by my lonesome. Jaime graciously handed my his guitar and said to the crowd, ‘let Jeremy Ferrick warm your hearts and make love to your brains with his new song.’ Or something very Jaime-esque like that.
Then we launched into ‘Ring of fire’ and a few of our originals. Johnny joined us onstage during ‘Bullfighters. He shared vocals with both me and Jaime. Afterwards he declared, ‘I’ve been wanting to do that for a year.” It was a good vibe at Danny’s. Edizen from Venice Papparrazzi was snapping shots. The pics are now online.

Till next time, Danny’s.

The Dirty Suits up north, on the radio KZSC!

We wrapped up a killer show at the Unknown Theater the other night in Hollywood, and then hit the road shortly after with Marshawn Mack (acting tour manager) driving all night and arriving at 9 am in Santa Cruz to then play a set on "Saddle Up, Partner" on KZSC College radio. DJ Moonshine and DJ Grand Pappy were very welcoming and low key having a blast doing what they love, so a very deserved thank you to them is in order. We set up, with two acoustic guitars! One being used by Jeremy as a bass and Dan setting up his amp laying down the leads, our fill in drummer who was traveling with us on this tour, who's name is not important, decided it was more important to sleep then to play music on the radio... We kicked off what we would like to call a very playful set with dj moon shine rocking the shakers and dancing to every tune and In between asking Jeremy and Jaime band question about how the band was formed and story's of our past!

We talk about our beginning, practicing in Marshawn's house and Venice beach busking story's which concluded with Jeremy smashing guitars on the boardwalk, along with giving our very thankful shout outs to all the people who have supported the dirty suits through out the years.... All and all it was a great time playing on the radio waves of KZSC! we are very much are looking forward, to our next show on the station w/ Dj Moon Shine and Grand Pappy. If you live in the Santa Cruz area, and would like to hear The Dirty Suits on your Radio... Please call em up and request us any time of the day.

(Dirty Martini split 10")

A few months back Steve Martini and Jaime Sol Black decided that it would be wicked cool to release a vinyl record. The Dirty Suits and The SpaceShip Martini together on a 10" vinyl with a digital download card. The record was release on new years eve 2010 @ the unknown theater and it was one hell of a party! Hitting the stage at 11pm and counting down to the new year, during the end jam of "Happy Again" w/ Kerry Anne Aldridge sliding down a stripper pole at the start of 10 and champagne flying off stage, with everyone in the room rushing the stage at mid-night thus making this new years one to never be forgotten! We also had COMPLIMENTARY CHAMPAGNE at the door, a open fully stocked bar, PERFORMANCES BY: THE DIRTY SUITS, THE SPACESHIP MARTINI, DJ TERENCE LECLERE & KYLE INGLEMAN, plus Tattoos and Piercings by: Robert Bukofzer, Robert Dominguez & Jeff Gambozi.

The Record is now available on iTunes and also at shows! so buy your copy today...
