Dirty Laundry

Dirty Laundry has spent the past four years ripping up dance floors across the country, cementing their reputation as one of Australia’s most dynamic and exciting live acts.

Founding members JJ Styles and Dean Cherny lovingly nurtured the band through its infancy, recruiting legions of fans, and more than a few “dirty little groupies” by maintaining a gruelling and relentless schedule of touring that has not let up since 2004.

Following a path more commonly pursued by rock and indie bands, Dirty Laundry have positioned themselves perfectly to unleash their unique and refreshing sound on a wider and largely unsuspecting audience.

Nothing can really prepare you for the Dirty Laundry experience - it’s non-stop hands in the air fist pumping action full of good times, tight rhymes and funky ass basslines. A hybrid collection of live instrumentation, live vocals and electronica. The idea for the band was inspired by the likes of Basement Jaxx, Faithless, Groove Armada and Massive Attack, artists that brought entertainment and musicianship back to dance music, something that had been missing since the days of disco.

Having recently undergone a facelift, Dirty Laundry consists of JJ Styles (Production/DJ/Keyboard), Dean Cherny (Production/DJ/Jack of all trades), Lee Lee (Female Vocals), Pete Hypes (Male Vocals), Mathew Charles (MC), Stevie Richards (Sax) and Cisco “the Latin Lover” (Percussion).

Dirty Laundry has developed a new audio visual show featuring original animation, created by award winning graphic designers Spin, that adds a further dimension to their already acclaimed live performance. The animation has been specifically designed to accompany the music and allow Dean and JJ to chop, slice, scratch and mix the video live and in perfect unison.

Now in the final stages of production, Dirty Laundry’s eagerly awaited first studio album is due for release late 2008. The boys have teamed up with some of Australia’s most talented producers, including Timothy Dudfield (aka Mr Timothy), Andy J (aka Sgt Slick) and Maarcos Kwong (1/3 of The Usual Suspects) to craft a mix of funk infused, disco spiked electro pop.

Disco Infected, the first single off the album, is a catchy guitar laden vocal track which should hit stores around June and is sure to reaffirm Dirty Laundry’s status as one of this countries most loved electronic acts.
