There were once two twins from the humble East Rand
Who were somewhat identical and naturally tanned
They were trained in music of the classical art
Later introduced to metal by a blood brother counterpart

With newfound passion, they formed a band
And dreamed of one day touring the land
They were impulsively named Tenacious 3
Jamming at birthdays, weddings, and Bar Mitzvahs for free

They each had careers to pay the rent
But also invested in guitars – money well spent
They found music to be their purest form of expression
Writing songs about war, peace, and depression

Fuelled by fast food pizza and creme soda
They often discussed the teachings of Master Yoda
And further developed their musical powers
By practising for over 769 870 hours

Inspired by Vivaldi, The Beatles, Metallica, and Rammstein
They created a sound that is quite difficult to define
With dedication to master the music they played
They sought to break the rules that no one made

They recorded independently with a nagware application
In a workshop in Germiston without noise limitation
The machined heavy metal was well understood
By the surrounding industrial neighbourhood

They’re eternally grateful for the support they’ve received
From family and friends without whom this could not be achieved
This journey is the dream that has come true
’Cause playing music is what they were born to do

They now invite the reader to become listener as well
And the listener to become screamer and join in the swell
For your voice must merge with the guitar, bass, and drum
To realise its full potential when the many become one

Dripping with sweat, and smelling of booze, Dirty Moonshine is everything your mother told you to avoid. Rumbling and thundering from the Gauteng highveld, Dirty Moonshine sets the South African music scene ablaze.

Reminiscent of hot days, boozy nights, and dusty shoes, Dirty Moonshine has taken their own unique brand of rock’ n roll across the country, with a view to turn every single venue upside down.

Four members with a collective experience old enough that it could legally order its own scotch, the band has forged its own inimitable sound within an otherwise decaying market.

So if you like some grit in your music, and dust in your soul, follow the thud of the bass to find Dirty Moonshine on a stage near you.

New Album, 'Starcatcher,' out now: http://gvf.lnk.to/starcatcher  
Listen to ‘The Falling Sky' now: http://gvf.lnk.to/fallingsky

In three years, Greta Van Fleet went from touring the grimy rock bars of Detroit and Saginaw to headlining shows on five continents with audiences triple their hometown’s population. The band that once attracted crowds of teens to improvised forest concerts, have now sold over one million tickets worldwide. Stadiums in Italy are a far cry from a field strewn with pick-up trucks, framed by the canopy of tall coniferous trees, where they learned to love an audience. Colorado’s Red Rocks Amphitheater is a world away from the tiny Midwestern bars where they got their start (before they were even of legal drinking age). From Frankenmuth to a tour bus across America, then their first ever flight to Europe, their newest album The Battle at Garden’s Gate is a reflection of their journey into the present. 

Produced by Greg Kurstin and due April 16, 2021, The Battle at Garden’s Gate has an elegance unlike the band’s previous work. So many have been positioned as the future, we’ve forgotten how to recognize the real thing. Expectations may run high, but Greta Van Fleet is indifferent to opinion. The band doesn’t have to say a certain thing or act a certain way to convince anyone of their capacity. All they have to do is play.

Having Good Taste in Bad Women since 2005!!! 3rd Album coming soon!!
