Dirty Sweet

Born of root and muddy-clay, Dirty Sweet was conceived by Mark Murino and Chris Mendez-Vanacore after their mutual but taboo love for bluesy boogie-rock led to an intense musical affair. The two had been together in Jejune and Lovelight Shine, but it had never been like this. This was sick, tawdry, violent and utterly beautiful. The two became curious, daring, and partnered with noted mad-scientist Shaun Cornell of Convoy and legendary Wailng Wendigo Ryan Koontz ( who is rumored to be a great Shaman Lord over an ancient and secret sect of warrior-priest Silverback gorillas). The resulting cosmic-convergence transported the band directly to an electrically-charged stage in front of thousands of transfixed Jimmy Eat World fans whose lives would forever be changed. The sold-out tour ended and Dirty Sweet returned home to conquer a legion of Puddle of Mudd acolytes. Word soon spread and the band was selling-out local venues as throngs of bloodthirsty heathens laid witness. Bombast and bootie-shakin' defined Dirty Sweet. Their near-prodigious music was becoming dangerously volatile. The group enlisted the help of long-time friend and world-renowned poet Nathan Beale - the Man-Child From Detroit. With Chris navigating from behind the traps, Shaun exploring a sea of frequencies with his bass and keys, Man-Child and Mark armed with an array of guitars, and Kuntz reciting oaths and incantations, Dirty Sweet entered the bowels of Mount Cedar to retrieve the fabled Awesome Demo. The world awaits their return . . .
