Hey What's up people! Thanks so much for being on are friend
list and especially the mailing list . We've taken a beating in the local ratings
because of inactivity on our part. That's about to change drastically. I (Christopher
Scum) did a solo gig tonight and talked to one of my personal favorite Guitarist
in Knoxville. Don't wanna mention names yet but of the 3 guitarist we have lined
up, oe I've been in a band with before (Dude I talked to tonight) another is Bad
ass and I've shared the stage with hi a million times and this other guy is a lot
younger, I'm just getting to know him but he can fucking wail. By March, Hopefully at the WallyPalooza We will be back on
the scene playing regularly! First we're gonna drop the
E.P. we already did with Former Guitarist Steven Crime Bultman then B.Riot
and I have enough material to put out a full length just from what we've been cooking
up! So please hit our page up some, God we're at 28! Let's try to get back in the
top ten anyway! This shit is crazy, we were at #7 at one point then started dropping
and I realize that's on us but we been waiting for the right guitarist. Now we'rethinking
about playing shows with a few different just for shits and giggle. Oh, and the
Chance to play loud Rock n Roll again asap!
Even
thinking about askig the very original Guitarist from 8 yrs ago (He hung around
about 6mo. then went on to something else given Steven Crime his opportunity to
shine. Just saying do not EVER write the DIRTY WORKS off cause we haven't even
peaked yet! This is exactly what we needed to wake our asses up and realize life
is way to short to NOT BE PLAYING PUNK ROCK n ROLL!
Check out this recent interview I did with Rockstar magazine radio http://www.usrockstarmagazine.com/radio-show.html
"In an era where "punk" is defined by Green Day and Blink 182, The Dirty Works
turn the genre on it's nose. The band blends crunchy guitars, machine gun drums
and snarly vocals reminiscent of MODC and Bad Brains. On first listen, their sound
is raw and messy, in true punk style, but once you run the record through a finer
ear, you realize the musicianship is actually quite tight, which proves how good
The Dirty Works really are.

"WITH BRASS KNUCKLES taped to his
microphone, Christopher Scum paces the stage while bashing the mic repeatedly into
his own face until he's a bloody mess. This sickening and disturbing essence is
persistent throughout Rebel Scum, the new documentary film that follows the daily
strife and madness of a trashy punk band called The Dirty Works. Before the Atlanta
premiere at the Plaza Theatre, producer Francis Percarpio introduced Rebel Scum
as a "hardcore documentary" that was not for the faint at heart and created for
anyone, anywhere who simply doesn't fit in, isn't quite fit for these times, or
just uncomfortable in their own skin. Rebel Scum follows a band that seems displaced
in the bible belt territory of Knoxville, TN, where The Dirty Works defend their
artistic expression amid tormenting addiction, abuse, violence, and serious hostility
against the religious zealot south." Nadia Lelutiu, The performer film review
"When we recorded 'Biscuits
and Liquor,' a couple of the guys had never really recorded in a professional atmosphere
before," Scum says. "They thought because the owner/engineer allowed drinking, which
most studios do, that it was a damn party. We suffered dearly in sound and time
use because of this. This studio experience is on the documentary. It shows (Riot)
and I having a heated argument. This is something that would never happen now. Since
then we've grown musically as well as individuals. We're tighter in all ways." Jer
Cole, Knoxville News Sentinel
