"Dirty Bird 13"
Ukrainian electro band “Dirty Bird 13” is a representative of a large and fast growing group of post-industrial bands which create music within Ukraine.
The band was founded by two friends from Horlivka in 2009. They are Denis Cherryman(vocals, music, lyrics) and Alexander Sol (music, lyrics, sound producing). The guys had a fair experience creating music from experimental to metal genre in numerous underground bands. However, according to them, DB13 is the very first project they consider serious.
The band focuses on a trend inherent to “industrial” of the new millennium – “dark electro”, which is represented by such great bands as Hocico, Wumpscut and Suicide Commando. But one cannot say that the band just blindly copies eminent representatives of the genre. The guys’ve got their own unique view on the genre, combining distinctive for “dark electro” dancelike and stiff sound with not quiet proper for the genre melancholic intros, folk spots, songs’ subject-matter, external image and outfit.
There is no “gore” common for the genre in the DB13 songs. The lyrics are more rather vital, pertaining to life itself and sometimes very sarcastic.
The band’s appearance is far from “cyber” trends of modern stage and is more referred to classic EBM of 90-s. DB13 doesn’t try to look provocative. Virility and intelligence is its main feature which so many nowadays bands lack.
In 2010 the band released its first promo-single “Я буду жить” in collaboration with promo group Front! Promotion. The single was freely accessible via internet and was distributed as a limited edition physical media. It had positive review and commentaries in the Russian section of the internet, and provided the band with a constantly growing fan-base.
Dirty Bird 13 is a live band which is gladly accepted by audience. The band’s shows are filled with energy, its music fires up the dance floor. The awesome shows made DB13 popular on local stage. The band often tours and performs on multiple parties and festivals throughout Ukraine and Russia. 30 concerts were given during the year.
At the end of 2010 the band started performing with a live drummer (some badass motherfucker I don’t know), which raised shows’ quality and made them far more rich and colorful.
The release of Dirty Bird 13 debut album and the tour supporting it will is expected in 2011.
