Dirty Gentlemen have been busily fighting back for the old school and standing defiant against the 'auto-tune industry' with their Swamp Pop Soul and New Orleans infused R’n’B. Their concoction of gritty guitar, growling Hammond organs, punching horns, kicking drums and bass, and heartfelt vocals has been reaching the ears of music lovers who can’t help but stomp their feet and keep coming back for more deep fried music.

Their debut single, the double-sided 7”, ‘Messy Lady’ is out on April 2nd. Written by George Elliot and arranged by the Dirty Gentlemen band, it was recorded using analogue equipment onto 1/4" tape at their warehouse in northeast London, where they have built their HQ and recording studio in order to play from dawn till dusk. Both tracks were engineered by Will Dorey, George Elliot and Jon Moody at The Arch studio in Tottenham and mastered by their good friend, Lewis Durham, of blues trio ‘Kitty, Daisy & Lewis’.

Guitarist and singer George Elliot discovered his passion for the music of New Orleans whilst recording in Louisiana with his band ‘The Scoundrels’. There he met and worked with pioneers of the genre whilst soaking up the sounds and rhythms of the bayou. On his return he realised these sounds were missing in the big smoke so, gathering a combination of mates from Guildhall Music School and other talented musicians from hub ‘Ain’t Nothing But The Blues Bar’, Dirty Gentlemen emerged from their very own urban swamp.
