Tell Ya Mama
DIRTYFUZZ
Sounding for all intents and purposes like the band Jet desperately wished they were, Dirtyfuzz are a London based retro rock band with the energy, freshness and tunes to back it all up. A balls to the wall cocktail of dirty rock guitar riffs, foot stomping beats and infectious melodies - TELL YA MAMA, the latest single from Dirtyfuzz rocks with all the energy and attitude of a party held by Lynyrd Skynyrd and attended by AC/DC and Motley Crue.
Incendiary guitar licks, throbbing basslines and pounding drum beats keep things rocking, while frontwoman Elida belts out the vocals with all the gutsy bravado of Janis Joplin crossbred with Robert Plant.
TELL YA MAMA is four minutes of the most grin inducingly no-frills rock that's passed this way since the Kings Of Leon first entered Youth And Young Manhood. A winning combination of hard rock, infectious melodicism and raw balls to the wall attitude; Dirtyfuzz have the whole package.
BIOGRAPHY
For those that like the sex sleazy, or indeed sleaze sexy, Dirtyfuzz are an under-the-counter prescription, precision-built to get your pulses racing.
Dirtyfuzz can only be described as soulful hard rock, part Stooges and part Etta James. Regulars on the London rock and roll circuit headlining the likes of The Barfly, The Windmill and the legendary Dirty Water Club. They have built up some admirers along the way, not least The Fratellis and Basement Jaxx, who loved the band so much they asked front woman Elida to supply vocals on their latest record.
Front woman Elida has been descrobed as the bastard daughter of Bon Scott and Tina Turner. In 2004 whilst working long shifts as a children's nurse, at just 22 years old Elida has a publishing deal writing for Windswept Pacific (Kings Of Leon, Snow Patrol, Nick Cave), a chance meeting with Andy Morrison, a music journalist and guitarist, lead to the creation of Dirtyfuzz.
TELL YA MAMA fuses the raw energy of Elida's soulful vocal, with a Zeppelin-esque rhythm section creating a sound that more than matches the modern revival sounds of The Gossip, Wolfmother and The Answer.
