Mick as Ogou

We proudly premiere Wayne County Ramblin', feature length film in Detroit, on Saturday, June the 24th. It will also be a DVD release party. It is a 2 hour, feature length work of 'fiction', featuring Mick Collins as the west-African spirit, Ogou / Ogun. Also features the Dirtbombs song; Little Miss Chocolate Syrup, and an original score from Mick working with other illustrious musicians.

For those of you that don't know, Ko has a weekly radio program on Sirius Satellite Radio on the Underground Garage Channel. This is taken directly from Sirius' programming guide:

The Ko Melina Program

Rebroadcast Sundays 7 am - 11 am ET
Ko Melina is an important member of the scene in the city which is the "hub" of garage rock activity in America today...Detroit, Michigan! She's played with many of the city's most prestigious bands, and hangs with its rock royalty including the White Stripes. Stay up with what's going down. Catch Ko!

Sirius is only $13 a month and there's tons of great programming - very much worth it!

Pictures!

In my attempts to do a better job at updating the site for The Dirtbombs, I've set up a photo page on Flickr where I've posted promo shots, pix that fans have sent me, pix that I've taken myself, etc. I would like to update it as often as I receive photos from fans, friends and the band.

If there is a photo on the site that is uncredited and you know who took it, please let me know by e-mailing drtbmbs @ yahoo.com. If you have a photo(s) you would like to submit, please e-mail it to that address as well with your name and the date and location the photo was taken.

casey spring likes the dirtbombs

casey spring took some pretty sharp pictures of the dirtbombs show at kraftbrau earlier last week. i'd like to know what camera casey is using...but enough about that, it looks like everyone had a helluva time.

speaking of pictures of the d-bombs, i took a bunch from the chicago show over the weekend at the double door (best if viewed in a new window or a new tab for you firefox users).

send more links of your own pix to us! we love to look & share.
