The Filthy Noises concept began as a music blog in 2005, took a hiatus in 2007 and is reborn now as a music project. The name “The Filthy Noise” is what this project is called and will not be negotiable. Everything else pretty much is negotiable with future members, so it’s not too much to ask ;-)

It has been an ambition of mine, for a while now, to create a show/band/exhibition/call-it-what-you-will of simple, rootsy, ballsy, honest, original hard rock and blog about it. Creation begins with composition and conceptualisation. Extension will involve recording demo/backing material and arrangement of live production hardware. Testing will follow, in conjunction with recuitment. Then will begin a cycle of (in no particular order) rehearse, perform, record, create.

At the moment, The Filthy Noise is me, Crunchy Steve, a few Macs and plenty of ideas. Soon I hope to add a vocalist/guitarist/(hopefully)keys/songwritery sort of person as my partner in aural crime and to “front” the band. After a while, if that’s working for us both, we’ll add a drummer/singer/songwritery sort of chap.

The music will be rock informed originals, some with electronic backing reinforcement, supported by covers chosen for their ability to “bait” an audience and augment the originals. The idea is to create a party with a beat, with lyrics you can think about if you care about that stuff.

We won’t be doing weddings, we’ll only do corporate events for organisations we support, and we are looking to make it as big as we can, but hijinx, fun and rock’n'roll is the prime motive, anal retainers need not apply.
