about

L’histoire des Dirteez est proche de celle des Cramps. C’est l’histoire d’un couple Wild Cat Lou/Clint Lha Zar et Poison Ivy/Lux Interior, et l’origine des ces groupes est lié à leur première rencontre. The Dirteez se découvrent une passion commune pour la sous-culture des 45 tours rock’n’roll rares et obscurs, les films de série B et tout ce qui est Trash. Le groupe se forme en 1986 à Paris et enregistre un premier disque « The wild side of love » sur le label Go Get Organized. La production est signée par Chris Wilson (Flamin’ Groovies, The Barracudas). The Dirteez possède une culture rock qui, d’Elvis aux Cramps, des Sonics à T. Rex, de Johnny Horton à Russ Meyer, de Traci Lords à John Waters de David Lynch et Betty Page fait référence aux séries B.
Après une décennie sur la route, The Dirteez s’établit à Sète, à Montpellier, puis Nice pour s’intaller durablement à Marseille. En 2000 The Dirteez revient sur le devant de la scène et sort le disque « How I lost my fur and became an angel ».
Les années 2000 voient The Dirteez redoubler d’activité. De nombreux albums sont sortis depuis cette « renaissance», « Labyrinth » en 2001, « Talisman » en 2003, « The Curse of the haunted cobra » en 2004 et « A fistful of blue spells » en 2006. Leur musique est un mix entre The Cramps et Sonic Youth.
2013 voit une réédition numérique du premier album « The Wild Side Of Love ».


The Dirteez – The Wild Side of Love album review

Throwbacks to an older kind of sound don’t get much more authentic than when a band decides to re-issue one of its old albums. So it’s no surprise that French veteran voodoo rockers The Dirteez have done a convincing job with the genre for their latest release, The Wild Side of Love — after all it is, in fact, a digital rerelease of the 1990 debut record of the same name. Given this fact, it would be pretty hard to dispute its authenticity. As an original artifact from the heyday of the genre, it functions as well as any record should. It plays up its deathrock influences well — the songs are simple but heavy, featuring standards like rhythmic, drilling instrumentals and a deep, haunting male vocalist. The tracks are loud and the lyrics indiscernible. To add to the theatricality of it all, the album seems to be centred around a theme. Called The Wild Side of Love, tracks with names like “Law of the Jungle,” “Cannibal Obsessions,” and “The Beast Inside” seem to work towards this imagery. In combination, these elements give the record a certain kind of horrific carnality. Its the kind of album that makes you want to headbang and thrash and rage without ever really understanding why. This is obviously something that worked back in the day and it’s not hard to see why. The record is not necessarily very deep or full of emotion, but one look at its comic-book style cover and you know its not meant to be. The Wild Side of Love is, at its heart, just another way to let loose and have fun — whether you’re taking a trip down memory lane or discovering it for the first time. (By mvremix.com)
