'Dirt' LP to benefit Seventh Generation Fund for Indigenous Peoples @7GenFund

"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 (The Replacements) on a collection of tracks steeped in cigarette-smoke harmonies and loose 4-on-the-floor grooves. Unpretentious rock & roll with the just the right amount of swagger" - 

Bill Whalen, Blind Pigeon Records 


All proceeds from 'Dirt' will benefit Seventh Generation Fund for Indigenous Peoples. The power-poppy "Nativize", featuring Aztec flutist René Cardoza, speaks to a Dashdown's belief that indigenous wisdom, knowledge & spirit hold the key to reversing our trajectory.


Dashdown played SXSW in 2019 in support of 3-song solo EPs 

'Three from me' & 'Wish' and toured the US & Canada as 

solo acoustic opener for the afore-mentioned Stinson. 


'Dirt' was Mastered by Andrew Garver (Chris Cornell, Rage Against The Machine, Madonna). Dashdown's past includes critically acclaimed releases with Waiting For Henry, Boom Hank, Billhouse and Braam, recording with the likes of the afore-mentioned Stinson, Brad Wood (Liz Phair), Mitch Easter (R.E.M.), Doug McBride (Izzy Stradlin) & Darrell Thorp (Beck). Dashdown played SXSW in 2019 in support of EP's 'Three from me' and 'Wish'.
