A total of 18 songs are 100% written and 6 songs are recorded. The band is consistently booking studio time at Martell Studios to bring you THE BEST rock n’ roll album you have heard in the last ten years. </p><p>We are in a time where FM radio waves play nothing but recycled classic rock at best. The attention span of most young people can’t get them through much past a 15 second video clip.

Are you ready?</p><p>The personnel for the release features band founder <strong>Luke Stephens</strong> at the helm on lead vocals showcasing better singing than ever and stick it to ya lyrics that are sure to bring out your inner wild. Stephens founded the band in 2007 in Tallahassee, FL along with drummer Shannon Stovall.</p><p><strong>Shannon Stovall</strong> returns on the drum kit bringing his swing to the band like he has for over 15 years. Guitarist/producer <strong>Stan Martell</strong> returns for his second go as Skirty’s secret weapon with harmonies that are on point point and solos that melt faces. </p><p>On bass, guitar, & backing vocals DIRTY SKIRTY now features <strong>Cesar Pentzke</strong>. Pentzke brings a songwriting partner in crime that Stephens hasn’t had since the first album. Pentzke has been successful as a singer/songwriter and guitar player in many pop/punk bands over the years especially in his bands Oh Romeo! and Grounds.</p><p>It is yet to be known whether live show members Carson Wayne or Christian McClure will appear on the album. </p><p>There is no release date slated for 2024 yet, but the album will be titled ACES IN YOUR FACES. It will feature at least 12 tracks of in your face rock n’ roll! With songs such as <i>Hot Love</i>, <i>Fire</i>, & <i>Fuct</i> the band promises it to be their best yet.</p><p>Above is a taste of one of their new songs, FIRE written in memory of green beret and fallen soldier John Wirka. </p><p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/s:bzglfiles/u/73413/b824bdde7dfebbd860749bcdb87adec1c005404b/original/img-6934.jpeg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>Dirty Skirtytag:www.dirtyskirty.com,2005:Post/65675342021-03-07T17:44:53-05:002022-05-24T13:31:00-04:00Dirty Skirty provide details about upcoming third studio album<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/73413/e140f2e4e03da395c0ed424fabc75316f8fe3fc8/original/img-6371.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" />March 4, 2021:</p>

<p>Many people might not know that Dirty Skirty frontman Luke Stephens works as a teaching tennis professional for a living and was a very good tennis player growing up. Dirty Skirty released the albums Long Live Rock N’ Roll (2010), which landed the #6 spot on Sleaze Roxx’s Top Ten Albums of 2010, and Rebel (2014). Stephens is also not scared to poke fun at himself.</p>

<p>We are proud to announce that DIRTY SKIRTY has two festival shows coming up this fall! On Saturday, September 29 the band will once again be playing 80s In The Park in Palm Bay, FL. This will be the 3rd year in a row (and 4th time) that Dirty Skirty will play the Space Coast's salute to rock n' roll.</p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/73413/e9372d172eb4bdc9a9f405fac5d0df1889f86fed/original/1dd00b-833d362eaae94172adb6ff6d27ca112e-mv2-d-1650-2550-s-2.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" />A few weeks later into the fall Dirty Skirty will be playing Rockfest 80s in Miramar (just west of Ft. Lauderdale) with the likes of Ace Frehley, Vince Neil, and Night Ranger. This will be the band's first time playing the festival which takes place November 10-11, 2018.</p>
<p>Dirty Skirty is a 5-piece rock n' roll band with 2 albums under their belt. 2010's Long Live Rock N' Roll was an underground rocker's dream come true with all killer and no filler from start to finish. You can put the album up against any record released the past 20 years and it won't just measure up, but it will most likely knock the competition flat on it's back. The band followed up with 2014's Rebel which moved units even faster than the predecessor. Singer Luke Stephens is the original mainstay and leader of the his pack of rock n' roll mayhem including drummer Timmy Vaughn, bassist Cezar Pentzke, and guitar players Carson Wayne and Christian McClure. </p>
<p>From sleazeroxx.com : </p>
<p>I don’t know much about Dirty Skirty aside from the fact they are from Florida, released their debut CD Long Live Rock N’ Roll earlier this year, and one of the most exciting new bands I’ve heard since The Last Vegas. Take equal amounts of Aerosmith, Buckcherry and Tesla and you will have the winning formula for Dirty Skirty‘s sound.</p>Dirty Skirtytag:www.dirtyskirty.com,2005:Post/48189482017-08-18T19:06:03-04:002023-12-10T11:55:44-05:00Rock N' Roll Leader<p><strong>August 18, 2017 </strong>: </p>
<p>We are very excited to announce that DIRTY SKIRTY will be performing at this year's 80s In The Park along with Jackyl, Winger, and Lynch Mob. To coincide with this exciting news the band has released a song upon you titled, "Rock N' Roll Leader." You may stream it for a limited time and purchase it right away. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Be sure to check out the interview with singer Luke Stephens and drummer Timmy Vaughn over at sleazeroxx.com! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Florida based sleaze rockers Dirty Skirty have released a new song entitled “Rock N’ Roll Leader” which can be streamed for a limited time on the band’s website (see bottom of website pages). </p>
<p>Dirty Skirty lead vocalist Luke Stephens and drummer Timmy Vaughn recently spoke exclusively to Sleaze Roxx about the new track and the band’s plans for the future to follow up Long Live Rock N’ Roll (2010) and Rebel (2014). </p>
<p>In terms of the new single, Stephens stated: “”Rock N’ Roll Leader” is what it’s called. The past two to three years, I have had some thoughts about someone who played in the band who was a dear friend and now that friendship has withered away. Like anything else that I write the lyrics come right from the heart. Whether it’s been about drowning yourself in booze, riding into the sunset, or girls there aren’t really any lines I write that don’t have an element of truth to it. This one is a self reflection of what the band is and we are. Collectively, it is Dirty Skirty speaking directly to one person in particular. The words are represented to serve as a stamp in time while at the same time a continuation of Skirty forever.” </p>

The past 12 months has seen the band as direct support for Buckcherry and Quiet Riot. They also played for the second year in a row at 80s In The Park 2016 with bands such as Stryper and Queensryche. With guitar player Kenny Baker tied up with his guitar-tech duties for Yngwie Malmsteen the band has replaced him with youngster Christian McClure from the band up and coming group Skar. He is bringing energy and new ideas to the band that will bleed through for their 3rd studio release.<br><br>You can already hear one of their new recordings "Ride High" right here on this site. The band has other tunes on tape and is finishing up pre-production on 3 songs as well. "It's a process that as long as we keep moving in the right direction with creating good stuff we are in good shape. I don't settle for anything but the best out of creating new songs. Every lyric has to serve a purpose and every guitar lick has to get the heads bobbing," says front man Luke Stephens. Shows are already added, lookout soon for a spring run up the state of Florida.<br><br><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/73413/e140f2e4e03da395c0ed424fabc75316f8fe3fc8/original/img-6371.jpg?1477773859" class="size_l justify_left border_" height="221" style="width: 313px;" />Dirty Skirtytag:www.dirtyskirty.com,2005:Post/39006022015-10-16T13:39:04-04:002022-09-13T03:14:35-04:00Band performs in front of thousands in Cape Coral<strong>October 16, 2015</strong><br><br>DIRTY SKIRTY took an opportunity and they not only took advantage of it, but they took themselves to a level in which they have never achieved.

They blazed through their anthems <em>Ride, Dirty Angel, and Red Light Go </em>with the energy you would expect from a seasoned act who plays arenas. It was during the ballad <em>Spill Your Heart Out Tonight </em>that they slowed it down enough to really pull in the audience prior to the closer of <em>Long Live Rock N' Roll.</em> Be on the lookout for new music and big shows from DIRTY SKIRTY in 2016.<br><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/73413/d7f3a068143fc1e30567f8653985f3383384980f/original/11224202-893554690736880-4600488286300019607-n.jpg?1445015020" class="size_l justify_center border_" height="243" style="width: 324px;" /><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/73413/c596e2a5007ccda2c51f373f44b72905b7318b9e/original/12118953-893554654070217-6087709200524978212-n.jpg?1445015049" class="size_l justify_center border_" height="295" style="width: 321px;" />Dirty Skirtytag:www.dirtyskirty.com,2005:Post/37754672015-07-13T05:35:01-04:002022-04-22T21:26:16-04:00Dirty Skirty rounds out it's lineup!The band is pleased to announce that they have found their bass player.

The band will utilize it's extended family tree of Woody Harvey (Blow It Up) and local player Russ "Screaming Man" (Outlaw Tendencies) while they search for a permanent bassist. The band will not miss a beat and they wish Jeremy the best.

A new single is on the way!<strong>September 16, 2014</strong><br><br>2014 has turned out to be a pleasant year of surprises for the boys of Dirty Skirty. The band that essentially sat dormant for a solid 3 years (aside from bi yearly reunion gig) is back in the ring playing rigs and making noise around the South Florida music scene. In April they released their sophomore album, REBEL, to the masses of the world. Thanks to adding iTunes and Spotify to the mix of distributing the albums the band has already outsold their successful LONG LIVE ROCK N' ROLL record.<br><br>Shortly after seeing the independent success of Rebel, front-man Luke Stephens knew what had to happen next; a live band. While mainstays Stovall, Stephens, and Garnell had recorded on every song for Dirty Skirty, the geographical location of the 3 limited their live ability. The new members have brought new life and flavor to the band and the reunions have now become a very strong union. Says guitar play Carson Wayne, "the scene here has long awaited a great original rock band and that is why we need to do it. I have been in this scene forever and these songs are flat out better than anything here in a while." Wayne and fellow guitar player Kenny Baker give the band the dueling live guitar sound that Dirty Skirty has always needed to make the most out of their live performances.<br><br>While most "local bands" are either playing covers, reggae, or punk DIRTY SKIRTY sticks to their guns and gives rock the right to breath new life. "I'm not in this to fuck around. We are gonna do this big and do this for the long run." -Kenny Baker, guitar. While the band came out of the gates in June swinging playing every bar show they can get their hands on, they are working on a monthly highly promoted venue gig and to open up for Nationals and do festivals. They have found home bars in Connolly's (Royal Palm Beach, FL) and Piper's (Greenacres, FL), but other than those the guys are going to be sticking to solid venues and large scale gigs.<br><br>The band will be releasing info on more gigs soon. Stephens is playing a intimate unplugged performance to his beloved Tallhassee, FL on September 19 at Club Atmosphere where he will have a party for the Rebel album. After that gig the band will release more show dates, a new single, and new photos of the band all at <a contents="DIRTYSKIRTY.COM." data-link-label="Home" data-link-type="page" href="/home">DIRTYSKIRTY.COM.</a>Dirty Skirtytag:www.dirtyskirty.com,2005:Post/31368992014-08-14T13:35:42-04:002022-07-01T06:39:49-04:00Dirty Skirty playing in Jensen Beach, radio promo, unplugged gig.<strong>August 14, 2014</strong><br> <div class="text_exposed_root text_exposed" id="id_53ecf076239a47a61037104">

Now after the overwhelming worldwide response frontman Luke Stephens rounded up new members of the Dirty Skirty family where he currently resides in South Florida. Through the use of Craigslist Stephens was contacted by several local musicians. After auditioning 2 drummers, 7 guitar players, and 2 bassists Dirty Skirty welcomes new members so they can once again be a live act on a regular basis. Guitarists Kenny Baker and Carson Wayne join drummer Louie McDaniels and bassist Jeremy Slusher along with Stephens on vocals.

After four years of an essential hiatus, we are pleased that our sophomore album has arrived. 11 tracks of music that we know will engrain itself in your belly forever. Sherry Stephens did a mind-blowing job with the artwork and Discmakers proved to be the only real choice to get a pressed album done the right way. The band is extremely pleased that their music gets to see the light of day and be served up at the level of a National recording artist. The official release date is April 6, 2014.

Eleven tracks of balls to the wall, blue jean, sweaty rock n' roll merely awaits artwork to be tweaked. The album will not be made available for "pre-order." Those who attend album release parties in the markets in which they take place will receive a promotional copy of the album and mailed a physical copy for arrival on April 6, which Is the official release date of <b>Rebel</b>. <br><br>The band's often controversial leader insisted on giving his opinion about some recent changes in how bans put out music. Says Dirty Skirty singer Luke Stephens, "a lot of musicians out there who can easily fund the recording and pressing of their music on their own amongst the band members are using websites like <i>Kickstarter </i>to pay for their new album. I can understand some youngster kids who are getting help from their fans is cool and I'm all for it. However, if you are an adult and you can't make the sacrifices and commitment to get your music out without your fans fronting you the cash then perhaps you should access your spending habits. Music fans deserve for you to do the work on your end and be rewarded for giving you their hard earned money."<br><br>The band, who released their debut album <i>Long Live Rock N' Roll </i>in 2010 will not tour for this release but plans to play several spot shows per year.<br><br>-Jack SnyderDirty Skirtytag:www.dirtyskirty.com,2005:Post/23315072014-01-05T13:42:18-05:002014-01-05T13:44:59-05:00Dirty Skirty live in NYC!January 30, 2014<br><p> @ Ella Lounge, NYC<br></p><p>9 Avenue A, New York, NY 10009, United States<br><br></p><p>Live Set / Free CD Album Release and Listening Party <br>Come to the show and get a free album of Dirty Skirty's sophomore album "Rebel"<br>Admission includes the new album, sticker, and a live set! <br><br><br><br><br><br>posted: January 5, 2014</p>Dirty Skirtytag:www.dirtyskirty.com,2005:Post/23048622013-12-30T11:45:47-05:002023-12-10T13:34:35-05:00Check out our new single "Devil Dancer"December 30, 2013<br><br>Our new single and write-up is featured at Sleazeroxx.com<br><br>Let us know what you think about it!<br><br>Link: <a contents='Our New Single, "Devil Dancer"' data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://sleazeroxx.com/news/02315.shtml">Our New Single, "Devil Dancer"</a><br><br><br><br><br><br> Dirty Skirtytag:www.dirtyskirty.com,2005:Post/22802512013-12-23T19:35:00-05:002022-03-16T14:05:35-04:00New Single and New Album Title Being Released at Sleazeroxx.comDecember 23, 2013<br><br>Dirty Skirty is going to debut their first single DEVIL DANCER and the finally decided album title this week at <a contents="sleazeroxx.com" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.sleazeroxx.com" target="_blank">sleazeroxx.com</a>. An album which was two years in the making, the band is proud to give you much more than you could possibly ask from a group which remains unsigned and with no tours to financially support their continuance. There are still true rock groups out their keeping the fun going who celebrate the roots of the classic rock sound. Bands like Airborne, Buckcherry, and 78 stand out keeping the old sound, but Dirty Skirty does it against all odds. Like a beaten and bruised warrior, the band treads on in the wake of the departure of their guitar players to keep the butter churning. Genious Stan Martell steps in turning frontman Luke Stephens' bare bones rocker pieces into toe tapping, fist pumping anthems. Shannon Stovall returns for a second round of drumming for the band to lay the foundation in which simplicity sounds thick and tasteful. With Evan Garnell on bass, the now foursome has recorded 11 tracks of sleaze strut that a working man will be proud to play at high decibels on his way home from earning his keep. The new record is smarter, grittier, and more memorable than the band's debut. Be sure to stay tuned for explosive firepower from Dirty Skirty.Dirty Skirtytag:www.dirtyskirty.com,2005:Post/17971702013-09-19T01:00:00-04:002013-09-20T01:00:00-04:00Back to the studio AT LAST!!!<br>
It looks like we are finally going to be able to get this thing out guys. The band just booked a full week in the studio for Thanksgiving week to finish recording of the second album. We are very pleased with the songs that we are going to be playing for you guys when you pop in our second record. The feedback and reaction for the first album really set the bar high so I know we have gigantic shoes to fill. With tracks titles like Dr. Dirty, Devil Dancer, Rockin' You to Pieces, and Rockin' Man, you can be rest assured that we aren't straying very far off course from what you can expect. <br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>

Original and ongoing Dirty Skirty bassist Evan Garnell is getting hitched!! Later this year Evan and his bride Martina are getting married at the beautiful Breaker's in Palm Beach, FL. Lead singer Luke Stephens will be on his best behavior as a groomsmen (Evan hopes). While Garnell's life transitions from single rocker to married rocker his devotion to the band he loves will continue to be his main passion. Oh Canada!!!<br><br>
congrats Evan!<br><br><br type="_moz">Dirty Skirtytag:www.dirtyskirty.com,2005:Post/17971722013-03-06T01:00:00-05:002020-08-15T03:11:22-04:00Writing, full band shows, unplugged shows<b>March 6, 2013<br><br></b>Dirty Skirty is still in the process of writing more music for the forthcoming album. The band wants to thank their die hard fans for their patience. The last thing a band should do is rush a disc to pressing which won't make the hair on the back of your neck stand up from start to finish. The 6 tunes that have been recorded still need more mixing and the next 4-6 songs are still being chosen for going into the studio. Some sporadic full band shows with the original lineup are expected from the boys in 2013 and you can always catch Luke Stephens unplugged in South Florida and Jeff Allen unplugged in Tallahassee, FL.Dirty Skirtytag:www.dirtyskirty.com,2005:Post/17971732013-01-22T01:00:00-05:002020-11-14T02:11:57-05:00Unplugged shows, writing, tweaking continues...<b> January 22, 2013</b><br><br>
Hey folks! I just want to peak my head in and let everyone know that everything is moving along! We are really taking a close look to ensure that the follow up CD is going to rock your world as hard as it possibly can. In the meantime we will be testing out new material via unplugged shows in West Palm Beach. News, interviews, and artwork are going to be coming your way over the course of the next few months. Stay tuned....<br><br>

Dirty Skirty still has some mixing to do for their first 6 tunes of the upcoming album. With song titles such as "Dr. Dirty" and "Candyland" the band is right on track to keep up with the sleaze strut of its first outing. "While the first album is pretty much a soundtrack to me burning through my 20s with no true consideration for consequence this one is gonna be a celebration of those times along with a salute to why there isn't much wrong with living like a Rockstar if that's who you are inside" says singer Luke Stephens. The writing has picked up for the final 5-7 tracks for the second album as well. Stephens is exclusively handling all the lyrics and music. It is the goal of the band to leave you grinning to the moments within the tracks while at the same time never at any moment losing interest. Filling an album with tunes which just doesn't live up to the DIRTY SKIRTY standard will never be allowed. You can count on the band satisfying your inner Rockstar until your car speakers bleed from the opening number until the very end of the disc.

We are in the studio and the tracks are sounding amazing! Me smd the boys are looking forward to everyone hearing just how big the sound is. Shannon did an excellent job of laying down the drums and we are taking the next 6 days wrapping a song each day. It's good to be back in Kingsland recording some new horn raising rock. Big guitars, thick bass lines, and epic anthems here we go...... Shout out baby!!<br><br>
