The Dirtbombs are an American garage rock band based in Detroit, Michigan, notable for blending diverse influences such as punk rock and soul while featuring a dual bass guitar, dual drum and guitar lineup. The Dirtbombs were formed by Mick Collins (of the influential garage punk band The Gories) as a side project and started recording songs by 1995.
The Dirtbombs have a long and widely praised history as a live act. Spin magazine listed the Dirtbombs at number 10 in their list of "Top 25 Live Bands Now" in the September 2006 issue. The band has opened for a diversity of famous acts: In 2002, the band opened for Blondie on their Michigan and Illinois tour dates, and in subsequent years, they've opened for Mudhoney, Radio Birdman, TV on the Radio and Spiritualized. Over the years, the band has headlined tours with such up and coming bands as the Black Lips, Be Your Own Pet, and Jay Reatard, many of which would go on to become major label acts. In 2002, rising art-punk band Yeah Yeah Yeahs opened for the Dirtbombs at the relatively small Bowery Ballroom in New York. Four years later, the Dirtbombs would open for the Yeah Yeah Yeahs at the massively larger Roseland Ballroom, also in New York City. The band jokingly refers to this trend as "The Dirtbombs Curse".
