Dirt City Chronicles podcast episode 4


Albuquerque, N.M. “Mile High and Loud as Hell” 
Dirt City Chronicles is a gritty, low budget repository of local music, produced by the plethora of New Mexico based musicians and beyond. So, sit back, pick the grit out your teeth and tap along to an eclectic cacophony of original music, thirty plus years in the making.

When you raise a ruckus, you make a lot of noise. The Noise as art experiment has gained a foothold in the Albuquerque/ Santa Fe music scene. Seeing how this collective group of artists seem hell bent on stretching the limits of what is listenable, conventional music listeners can thank their lucky stars that the majority of musicians still favor traditional melodies and instrumentation. Boy Howdy! ~ Dirt City Chronicles ~

Dirt City Chronicles presents 21 high, hard fast ones. A trashy sound explosion from the Duke City's seedy underbelly. You won't find these on Napster. The demise of rock and roll has been greatly exaggerated and I have the proof. ~ Dirt City Chronicles ~

Albuquerque, N.M. “Mile High and Loud as Hell” 
Dirt City Chronicles is a gritty, low budget repository of local music plucked from dusty archives. So, sit back, pick the grit out your teeth and tap along to an eclectic cacophony of original music, thirty plus years in the making.

You really didn't have to live in Albuquerque during this time to appreciate the music here. A few "name" bands plus a few delicious obscurities that skirt and stretch the limits of genre tags and definitions. Great moments of inspired heart on your sleeve punk rock, Farfisa rave ups, fuzz guitar and pop punk gems. 21 lean, mean tunes crammed into less than an hour's time. A glorious noise indeed.
