Dirty Bath Water is one of the most diverse, original, and exciting bands you will hear today. They play everything from Rock, to Hip Hop, to Acoustic Ballads. Come to a DBW show, and their energetic vibe is what you are sure to remember. They can keep the party pumping, or bring it down to a slow and melow vibe.
Why this name?
The name Dirty Bath Water was given as a joke. This was a name that Wesley had made up for his imaginary band as a child. He thought of this name because "this was the stupidest name I could think of at the age of 9." Danny declared that they would change the name when they thought of a better one. Years later, they are still Dirty Bath Water.

Band History:
irty Bath Water's saga begun in early 2001, when Danny Olejnik (stage name Huggybear) and Wesley Volcy (stage name Remy Noir) met at college. They started writing songs together and performing at local coffee houses, with Wesley displaying his magnetic charisma on piano, and Danny releasing volcanic intensity on guitar. About a year later, Danny and Wesley met John Rickenbacker, Jr. (stage name Fudge), who also went to the same school. He then began to play drum and beatbox with them, with a relentless mischievous energy adding to their distinct style. L.A. Nolan II (stage name LANSTARR), who was a long time friend of Wesley, joined DBW in mid 2003. His un-daunting mystic while playing the trumpet helped to add to the band's unique sound and is something one rarely sees in a rock band today.
Randy Rice (stage name Uncle Randy) joined the crew in mid 2005, adding the foundation to DBW songs with his smooth bass playing. Singer Adrian (stage name Juice) also performs with DBW on occasion, adding a soulful spirit to DBW songs. And Craig (stage name Beaver) can be seen at almost every DBW show, amping the crowd up with his wild and energetic antics.
