Dirty Sweet was a San Diego band I was introduced to by Lucinda. They were just pure rock n roll in a classic rock kind of way. It sounded pretty badass to me so years later when I found out they had recently released an album called Of Monarchs and Beggars and were coming to the Hard Rock Hotel Downtown I took Donna. They played this little room up on the second floor that overlooked the Gaslamp sign. At one point I was right in front of the stage and some gal who had clearly never been to a concert before screamed at me for barely bumping into her…right in front of the stage…where people were moving around. It was a weird moment. After I got the fuck out the front I went to the bar to watch the rest of it. The band was good. Good enough to be tight as a band but play loose and look like they were actually enjoying themselves.
