Episode 63 – The Dirtbombs

What this episode covers

It's an ooey-gooey-podcast-ka-blooey this week as we celebrate the lifeblood of Detroit Rock'n'Roll: the indomitable DIRTBOMBS! In the mid-nineties the music scene echoing out from the Cass Corridor was truly kicking into high gear. Groups like Bantam Rooster, Rocket 455, The Go and, of course, The White Stripes began to take shape, standing on the shoulders of legendary groups such as The Stooges and The Gories. When Gorie virtuoso Mick Collins started his next musical project in the primordial rock soup of 1996 Detroit, something special was bound to happen, and happen it did. Enter: The Dirtbombs - a revolving cast of quintessential voices in the rock revival and home base for such Third Man staples as Ben Blackwell, Jim Diamond, Patrick Keeler, E Wolf and many, many more. This week we cover the band's inception and discography, and are joined by Dirtbomb super-fan Kate McCoy for an unforgettable interview that ends with a surprise TOO INSANE to type here. You're just going to have to listen to find out. Trust us, do NOT miss the end of this episode!<br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
