About The Dirty Panties
Founded in 2001 and Influenced by the DIY past of NYC punk and the raw style of the garage rock renaissance, The Dirty Panties have
created their own unique sound. They write and perform powerful, infectious songs that reflect the band's personality; from getting
drunk, feminism and rejection, to their take on what it means to be a girl in the punk scene. “The Panties” as their fans call them, are a
unique, hard working band that know their way around a dive bar, a catchy song and a concert stage. Look for the new Dirty Panties
release, I Am A Robot, available Tuesday, July 24, 2012 and hear their first single, “Confighted,” at: www.thedirtypanties.com
About The Gashers
The Gashers are a 3‐piece band with deep roots in Vegas punk history, solid, dynamic chops, and a message that is perfect for their
medium. Jason (guitar & vocals), Sandy (drums & vocals) and James (bass & vocals) helped form the iconic Peccadilloes in 2003, and,
after releasing four full length CDs, playing countless sold‐out shows and building a huge, loyal following they wanted to try something
new. In 2011, the three formed The Gashers and in the process gave a fresh new voice to modern punk by saluting it's storied past. The
Gashers' debut album, Law Is Not Order, will be released On August 14, 2012, by SquidHat Records, with extensive tour support to
follow. Hear their first single, “Panic,” at: www.thegashers.com
