The Dirty Little Heaters

The Dirty Little Heaters began in Durham, NC in 2004. They were originally a gtr/drums duo featuring Reese McHenry (formerly Reese Gibbs) on gtr and Melissa Thomas on drums. That version of the band broke up in 2006, and after a yearlong hiatus, McHenry re-formed the band as a power trio in 2007 with Rob Walsh on bass and Dave Perry on drums.
Their sound is a mix of raw gtr/bass/drums garage-rock thump, and McHenry’s powerful, at-times-Joplinesque vocals.
