Kurt Dirt & The LoveRats
By Chris Rockson

beige wearing singer/songwriters Have shaken us away from being glued to jeremey kyle on our torn, beer stained
sofa's, and forced us to take action against the forces of taste, decency and style...
of wreaking havoc all over the country supporting bands such as The Damned (making captain sensible a fan
in the process) Buzzcocks and The Wildhearts and even at London's 100 club with Paul Roberts of The Stranglers
the band finaly self destructed like so many great acts do.

Not to
be deterred, Mister Dirt hooked up with long time friend
and Musician Stephen James Buckley to record
material, raw, energetic, and downright filthy enough to live
up to The singers name. Quickly ditching the idea
of visiting a high tech, high price studio recording began in
Buckley's flat using a basic drum machine, plugged
in to a guitar amp, whatever musical instruments the terrible
two could borrow, and for the first time Kurt sang as
he always did in the 'sisters rehersals - thru a guitar amp!
load of rock'n'roll Rats, Kurt Dirt & The Love Rats have come to reclaim the streets with their wild,
John waters influenced stage show. Shoe gazers Beware...
I'd been given a sneak
preview of Kurt's latest demo's a couple of weeks ago. Fresh from
the studio, and back with
vengeance, he's out to prove himself once and for all. The
sounds are reminiscent of early punk bands, and the later
glam outfits from the downtown sewers of Manhattan, bands like
the Harlot's of 42nd St, the Dolls and
Ruby & The Rednecks. 'Rock n Dole' tells the story of Dirt's
existence in the early daze, catchy lines and powerful
straightforward rock deliver the message, loud n clear! 'You're
the kinda girl that makes me wanna hurl' -
screams 'Lovesick', sounding like a unholy marriage between the
Stooges and Sigue Sigue Sputnik.
Hopefully, from
this, he can move forward and get some stability and show the rock
world what the Love Rats
are made of, 'cos from these demo's there's more than a taste of
what's to come!!
