Dirty Vegas

One

BY Andrew SteenbergPublished Feb 1, 2005

The slightness of Dirty Vegas’ career may never be equalled by any band, ever. Their eponymous debut album sold nearly one million copies solely on the strength of a single that no one would have heard had it not been for a Mitsubishi commercial. Since then, days have gone by and very few people have thought of Dirty Vegas. In the meantime, the trio’s done several things conducive to kill a career: DJing at Kid Rock’s stag party, touring with fellow synergistic merchant, Moby, and recording an album so insipid that, I assume, Matchbox 20 is interested in a remix collaboration. One’s songs are outstanding expressly for the fact that they contain nothing of interest and don’t ever seem to change. Even the title itself is an obvious piss-take from an obvious bearded lady.
