Dirty Honey Announces ‘Mayhem and Revelry’ Live Album and Four-Part Documentary
Today, Dirty Honey announces “Mayhem and Revelry Live,” the band’s first live-in-concert, double-vinyl CD and digital release, and its companion four-part video documentary, recorded live throughout North America, the UK and Europe on the band’s 2023-24 “Can’t Find the Brakes” World Tour. Set for a February 21, 2025 release (Dirt Records), the album and video capture the band’s explosive energy and camaraderie with its audience and each other, and puts viewers front and center inside the barricade at the band’s sixty concerts. With 16 tracks total, Side One of the vinyl features recordings from the North American concerts, and the Side Two recordings are from the UK and European shows.
Said guitarist John Notto, “We are very proud to present to you this collection of live performances from around the world. Like my favorite live albums I listened to constantly as a kid, I believe this album features the band in its most honest form, feeding off the audience and walking the wire with a grin and a dash of reckless abandon that can only come from that magical place we get to onstage with you, the audience. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed performing it.”
“When I’m Gone Live”
“To me, live albums have always been the quintessential corner stone for any rock band’s catalog,” vocalist Marc LaBelle added. “I grew up on Aerosmith’s ‘A Little South of Sanity,’ AC/DC’s ‘LIVE,’ The Stones’ ‘Get Your Ya-Ya’s Out,’ and Zeppelin’s ‘How the West Was Won.’ There’s something beautiful about a band’s unbridled live energy mixed with an audience’s excitement that breathes new life into songs. The guys in the band and I have long been told ‘your records are awesome, but you’re even better live,’ and I think that sentiment comes across loud and clear on ‘Mayhem & Revelry.’”
Dirty Honey “Can’t Find The Brakes” Media Quotes From Around The World:
“As their sole guitarist, John Notto balances bottom-end depth and dirt with flashy finesse. Marc LaBelle revels in the role of open-shirted, mic stand-wielding frontman, reflecting the band’s many nights spent opening for GN’R in stadiums across the world. It’s not hard to see why they landed that gig. Or why their headline audiences keep growing.” – Polly Glass, Classic Rock, Electric Ballroom, London, England
‘While the main attraction of the evening was the legendary Guns N’ Roses, it was Dirty Honey, the opening act, that proved to be the unexpected highlight. Opening while daylight still lingered, Dirty Honey took control of the stage and quite possibly the entire evening. Their performance was a burning reminder that the spirit of rock and roll is still very much alive. — Jim Gilbert, Daily Gazette, Saratoga Springs, NY
“This band represent the present and the future of rock.” — Long Live Rock ’n’ Roll, Italy
“Dirty Honey, the acclaimed rock sensation, left an indelible mark on Milan, proving once again why they are at the forefront of the contemporary rock scene.”— Benedetta Baldin, Chaoszine, Finland
“Won’t Take me Alive” is a balls out, kick ass tune that has that early Guns’n’Roses swagger which was stolen from Aerosmith and both bands are sprinkled throughout. You have to face it – John Notto is the new Joe Perry and he shows why he has earned that compliment right here. — Ritchie Birnie, Metal Planet Music UK – 10/19/23
