The Dirty Skirts To Release Lost In The Fall

The Dirty Skirts' third studio album is called Lost In The Fall and is due for release in June 2011. The album has been recorded at Heritage Studio with engineer Brendan Rossouw and is co-produced by The Dirty Skirts and Neal Snyman.

The Dirty Skirts are a fiendishly independent band that built an impressive underground following with the release of their eponymous EP in 2005, and subsequent albums On A Stellar Bender and Daddy Don't Disco. The alt-indie-rock band is based in Cape Town and comprises of Jeremy De Tolly on lead vocals and guitar, David Moffatt on guitar, Maurice Paliaga on bass and Mark De Menezes on drums.

"Yes, our sonic has changed on this album. But I think that we are closer to the experience that we have envisaged for some time," remarks David Moffatt. "We have deliberately preserved the grittiness of our pre-studio recordings. Some of the material is dark and hard, but there is loads of beauty and heart, too."

To date, the band has toured to the States to perform at SXSW, the United Kingdom and the United Emirates. In South Africa, The Dirty Skirts have shared festival stages with South Africa's finest in addition to Oasis, Snow Patrol, Panic At The Disco and Evanescence with three Coke Fest performances. They've also supported Canadians Billy Talent during their South African tour in 2010. They've repeatedly been a featured act at legendary South African festivals such as OppiKoppi, Rocking The Daisies, Splashy Fen and the unique Kirstenbosch Gardens Summer Concerts. The road to these achievements is signposted with endless small club performances that have been packed to the gills.

Lost In The Fall will be released online and in store in June, with a limited number of launch events that will take place around the country.
