The Dirty Heads Set To Launch Co-Headlining Tour With Gym Class Heroes
Posted by GeoffAug 15
It’s been quite a successful past couple of years for The Dirty Heads and they’re not slowing down anytime soon.
They’ll be celebrating the September release of the third single, “Believe,” from their Any Port In a Storm debut album with a co-headlining tour with Gym Class Heroes, which will include their own headlining shows along the way.
The ticket pre-sale will begin on Thursday, August 18, and public on-sales will take place on Friday, August 19 and Saturday, August 20, with the date varying by city. In addition to general tickets, The Dirty Heads will offer their fans a VIP “Believe” Meet & Greet Package, which will include one General Admission ticket, one Meet & Greet with the band, one signed poster, one T-shirt and one Commemorative VIP Laminate. Details can be found on the band’s website.
“We’re really stoked to get back out on tour,” says singer Jared Watson. “We took the summer off to record the new album, so we’re excited to play new music. Plus, I think the mix of The Dirty Heads and Gym Class Heroes is going to make for a filthy show.”
The Dirty Heads–Dustin Bushnell (vocals/guitar), Jared Watson (vocals), Jon Olazabal (percussion), Matt Ochoa (drums), David Foral (bass)—were called one of Rolling Stone’s “Best New Bands of 2010.” Their debut single, “Lay Me Down,” spent 11 weeks at #1 on Billboard’s “Alternative Songs” chart, holding the record for the longest reign at #1 for an indie label and remained in the chart’s history. It remained in the Top 12 for another 39 weeks after that. And the song has been heard over 250,000 times on radio stations across the U.S.
The Dirty Heads has been heard in numerous TV shows and movies including “Horrible Bosses,” “Surf’s Up,” “Shark,” Surfer Dude,” “Blue Crush 2” and “Rob Drydeck’s ‘Fantasy Factory.’” They’ve also been featured in “The SIMS” and “Tap Tap Revenge” video games. Since the release on the Executive Music Group label via Fontana/Universal, their debut album, Any Port In a Storm, has sold nearly 200,000 copies nationwide. Produced by Steve Fox and Stan Frazier, and mixed by Beastie Boys’ producer Mario C., the album features one of the last recorded performances by legendary Beatles collaborator Billy Preston.
