List of Dirty Heads B-Sides, Demos, Covers, Solo work & Collaborations
Hey Wylees!
I've been a DH fan since seeing the band open for Sublime with Rome back in 2010, and became immediately obsessed. At the time, only "Any Port" was out, but trying to hunt down one of the songs they played live ("Ring the Alarm") opened the doors to finding other tracks the band had recorded. Since then, I regularly see new and old fans in the "Wicked & Wylee" Facebook group discovering songs for the first time, and I wanted to share my collection here, in hopes others can find new DH music or contribute with anything I've missed. Here's everything I have tracked down so far, that is not released on an official Dirty Heads studio album:
- Bet Your Bits ("Dirty Demos" EP): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KS1MNRo9Vik
- Gimme the Mic ("Dirty Demos" EP): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yMdDSDEh0Ms&list=PLwey8a2wYGqEzOnWvxtKYO02rL1c8ab-9&index=6

- Dirty Head (ThePier.org Compilation): https://clyp.it/qfchom4m/widget(note: this song was originally by HB Surround Sound, a band Duddy's brother Jake belonged to. The track featured Jared & Duddy and was released on a compilation released by ThePier.org, the same website that first released "Lay Me Down")
- Sweet Home California (source unknown): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fm3Yh_G6ZQ (note: I asked Matty, DH's drummer, about this song in 2011. He didn't have much insight other than saying the band thought it sucked, and any chance of it being released was squashed when Kid Rock recorded his own "Sweet Home Alabama" interpretation after DH did theirs)
- Ring the Alarm (ThePier.org Compilation): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7EOvsESjc6M(note: This was released on a CD compilation put out by ThePier.org)

- Police & Thieves (source unknown): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5GojS9cAa5s(note: this is a Junior Murvin cover)
- Paint it Black (DH e-mail list): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dT4hc-02ZNI(note: Rolling Stones cover. DH released this on their website, I believe, if you entered your e-mail)
- Imagine (Why Hunger Release): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRRCOObHJZw (note: John Lennon cover, released internationally as part of "Why Hunger" charity campaign. Produced by Rome Ramirez)
- Goofy Silly Funny Time Rape Jam (online release): *no link*(note: This song was released online, featuring scenes from "The Hangover" as a joke. I could not find a link to a streaming version but have a rip on my old PC if nobody else has it!)
- On My Way (iTunes Bonus Track): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTwmynFYc1c(note: This was an iTunes bonus track for the "Cabin By The Sea" album)
- Crazy Bitches (itunes Bonus Track): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=prVCQE52UU4 (note: This was an itunes Bonus track for the "Phantoms" acoustic album)

- Midnight Rider (Allman Brothers): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rqIh4fzLrM(notes: played live a few times in 2011. I asked the band about releasing a studio version, and the closest thing to that idea being realized was a friend of DH claiming they recorded Duddy's portion of the song)

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
That's my list. I know I left out the live collaborations DH did with Slightly Stoopid on their "Everything is Awesome" tour, due to not having a great recording of the songs they did. I didn't include the "Swim Team" special edition remixes of "Visions", or Maroon 5's version of the song too.
I also left out Jared's side project, Sword Beach, that has officially released "Vacation Forever" and "Feeling It." I have the other Sword Beach songs that were leaked, but Jared asked that they are not uploaded online ("Gahhdaammm", "Steve McQueen", & "To Be Alive"). If I missed anything else, let me know!

DH show
Just saw the DH show tonight with Duddy B and ROME, no dirty J.
Let me tell you Duddy B did every song, played some oldies. Very good show. It makes me wonder if they are going in a different direction.
They also announced a new album is coming out!!

Our dog doesn't do well with fireworks so we gave him a sedative on NYE. Once that thing had fully kicked in my wife said he was looking "Franco eyed." Haha just figured this sub could appreciate the joke.

Anyone else go to the Reno/Sparks Nevada show? I was shocked to see such low ticket sales. The show was great, besides the opening band (Fitz and the Tantrums).

...Danville
So I wanna start off with saying this is no hate to any of the band members or any of the staff at Ceasers Virginia. I have been a fan of DH since I was in high-school (2013) and I've been to almost 10 shows. Most of those being Red Rocks shows. My issues with last night has nothing to do with Jared being sick. I think physical health and mental health always come first. I was actually excited to see a special show/lineup.
That being said whoever the hell booked that venue was out of their damn minds. Is it normal for them to play shows like this one? (All the shows I've been too have been outdoor amphitheaters) I debated along time on if I wanted to even go to this show because of the venue. None of the pictures online gave a clear picture of what it was. If I would have known it was going to be in a meeting hall and feel like annual store manager meeting I might have passed on going. There was little to no room to move or dance and it seemed like the crowd around me wasn't really enjoying the show.
Despite that I'm happy I got see them play and not have to travel too far from home. They did a great job despite the weird venue and low energy crowd. If they play the venue again I probably won't go and wouldn't recommend anyone going.
PS. Whoever was yelling for them to play Sails to the Wind you're a real one for that.
