Dashdown LP ‘The Dirt Tastes Good Right Here’ to benefit Seventh Generation Fund for Indigenous Peoples (www.7genFund,org) “Rock & Roll journeyman and Chicago stalwart Dashdown is at it again with a lockdown-inspired collection of lo-fi gems. Drawing on his roots in pub and punk rock, ‘The Dirt Tastes Good Right Here’ features Punk Icon Tommy Stinson on a collection of tracks steeped in cigarette-smoke harmonies and loose 4-on-the-floor grooves; unpretentious rock & roll with just the right amount of swagger” (Bill Whalen @ Blind Pigeon). Out April 16th on Blind Pigeon Records, all proceeds from ‘Dirt’ will go to benefit Seventh Generation Fund for Indigenous Artists. The powerpoppy “Nativize“, featuring Aztec flutist René Cardoza, speaks to Dashdown’s belief that indigenous wisdom, knowledge & spirit hold the key to reversing our trajectory. ‘Dirt’ was Mastered by Andrew Garver (Chris Cornell, Rage Against The Machine, Madonna). Dashdowns rocky past includes critically acclaimed albums with Waiting For Henry, Boom Hank, and Braam recording with the afore-mentioned Stinson, Brad Wood (Liz Phair), Mitch Easter (R.E.M.), Doug McBride (Izzy Stradlin) & Darrel Thorp (Beck). Dashdown played SXSW in 2019 in support of the decidedly mellow 3-song solo EP’s ‘Three from me’ & ‘Wish’. —- please visit www.7GenFund.org
