The band was formed after Matt and Leon's previous band (Jubb & the Dirty Sleeves) spilt up in May 2007. After the re-shuffle they began re-working old songs and writing new ones and now hold over an albums worth of new and exciting, lyrically driven songs. After playing with the likes of Babyshambles, The Holloways, The View, Ali Love and Jack Penate in the bands previous form, they are no stranger to large crowds and extraordinary gigs.
The band are currently awaiting to record their first EP (Late July) and accordingly promote it on the road by playing popular music venues up and down the country as of early August.
"The Dirty Sleeves" are:
Matt Taylor - Guitar + Vox
Leon Harvey - Drums
Phil Evans-Jones - Bass + backing vox
