One of the most intensely upbeat live shows a fan can witness on the concert circuit is a performance put on by the Dirty Heads. There are plenty of layers to the Huntington Beach, California outfit, including the gentle upstrokes of an acoustic guitar, hip-hop rhymes that could match the best of a completely separate genre laid over a bed of rugge...
“I pretty much lived in apartments my whole life, and I was always very interested in drumming. I always wanted to play on a full drum kit, but living in an apartment, one after the other, there was no way I could make that happen. So, when I was in junior high school, maybe sixth or seventh grade, my dad bought me some cheap little bongos. You kno...
“The primary stuff that I was listening too back then was a lot of classic rock. I have always been somewhat of a drum nerd. I feel like a lot of the music I was listening to and focused in on wasn’t necessarily percussion and conga based. I really focused on the full drum kits, and I don’t know if that helped mold my sound the way that I played it...
“My first real band that I was ever in was HB Surround Sound. I met Jake Bushnell, Duddy’s brother, at a party. I was still in high school, maybe my junior year, and he said, ‘We’ve got this band Surround Sound and wanted to try out percussions. Why don’t you come over to our place and jam?’ I had heard of them before through mutual friends, and th...
“I am 99% sure that the Dirty Heads’ first show was at a place called The Liquid Den in Huntington Beach, CA. It has since been torn down, but I remember Jared, Dustin and I, along with like ten friends walked to the bar, carrying our instruments over to this nasty little dive bar that smelled like puke, and played about a half-hour set for all of ...
The driving force behind the Dirty Heads has always been desire. For the band, the literal driving force has come by way of a 15-passanger van in the beginning, before reaching the rock star status of living the life in a full-scale tour bus. However, one doesn’t transform into the other magically. Grueling road trips to places once perceived as en...
With acclaim coming from all corners, the Dirty Heads didn’t rest, taking to the road, spreading their salient sound to whomever would listen. For Jon Jon, it wasn’t all fun and games though. For one stretch, Jon Jon was sidelined due to a broken arm, and for a percussionist, even of his stature, two hands are necessary at all times. “That was roug...
“Usually, [recording] is pretty open and free form. The producers do give me something here and there, but more often than not, it’s just press record and let the tape roll, and let me do what I want to do. I feel like I have a lot of freedom and the guys trust me enough in what I am going to put out.” In terms of trust, the producer that has seen ...
“The idea that we kind of had behind the whole album was to do Cabin By The Sea sort of as this place where you can go to in your head. When you start the album and press play, just put your headphones on and you can kind of zone out, no matter what you have going on, you can escape for that hour and however many minutes it is and go on a trip and ...
Watson added singing to his vocal skills, and later with percussionist Jon Olazabal, drummer Matt Ochoa, and bassist Dave Foral, Dirty Heads began building an immense audience. In 2008, Dirty Heads released their acclaimed album Any Port in a Storm, with a deluxe edition following in 2010. The deluxe version featured the track "Lay Me Down ...
Später kamen Jon Olazabal (Percussions), Matt Ochoa (Schlagzeug) und David Foral (Bass) hinzu und formten den Stil der Band. Auf den Namen kamen sie, als sie Alkohol aus einem Geschäft stahlen und der Besitzer ihnen nachrief "Come here you little dirty heads!".
