Dirty Paris rocks another local venue.
Troy, NY- On December 1st, the Revolution Hall in Troy featured Dirty Paris, a new band that is gaining local popularity. The four members Rob Morrison (percussion), Chris Duffy (bass), Dmitriy Bolotny (synthesizer, organ, piano), and Thomm Lafond (guitar) dabble in the genre of experimental, psychedelic funk-rock fusion.
Revolution Hall was overcome by positive vibrations from the stage, to the crowd, to the bar. The smooth blends of sound ranging from Caribbean cool jazz styles to modern electronic sound kept the people dancing. The music that Dirty Paris creates has influences from Miles Davis, Chick Corea, Frank Zappa, Phish, Led Zeppelin, the Weather Report, John Coltrane, Daft Punk, the Disco Biscuits, Bassnectar, the Grateful Dead, and many more. They collectively write and self- record all of their music.
Dirty Paris was originally formed in the summer of 2008 in Albany, NY. The band prefers to perform live at local venues such as Red Square and Savannah’s in Albany, Revolution Hall in Troy, Kings Tavern in Saratoga Springs, and they even played inside of the Ben & Jerry’s on Lark Street in Albany for Lark Fest this summer. One of their most accomplished performances so far was opening for the Disco Biscuits at Camp Bisco 8 in Mariaville, NY.
