THE DIRTY LOWDOWN plays the forgotten hits and jams from that era: the FM Classics, AM Gold, Classic Rock, Yacht Rock, and Dance Rock. The Lowdown began in the Fall of 2018 when guitarist Harry LeDjangles (we can’t tell you his real name) was asked by a festival in Palm Springs to put together a last-minute band for the ’70s themed party just a few nights away. With nothing but a guitar, a hat, and a list of 23 songs, he recruited a top wrecking crew for the job. One practice run later, these players were ready for the big takeover. The show was legendary. People singing: check! People dancing: double-check! People losing their minds remembering these classic songs and drowning in emotion and sweat: triple check! At the end of the night, a masquerade party infiltrated the event and their ring leader grabbed the mic and proclaimed that the band was so special that the world could never know their real names because it would be total chaos. So, on the spot, he renamed each player: Spider MacKenzie on the Drums, Nigel Ambrose on Bass, Sweet Lou Montague on vocals, and the aforementioned Harry LeDjangles.

They became THE DIRTY LOWDOWN.

The Dirty Lowdown’s extensive song list focuses mainly on the songs most other bands avoid from the ’70s that people miss hearing, singing along, and dancing to. They’ve even done several one-off-themed tribute nights to David Bowie, the Rolling Stones, Prince, even songs from the year 1977. Reinterpreting the classics for maximum effect. That’s the DIRTY LOWDOWN.
