DIRTY LOOPS IN CONCERT:

It's hard to tell who has the most fun at a Dirty Loops concert. Is it the crowd, treated to a groovy set brimming with uniquely arranged pop fusion jams? Or is it the trio onstage, serving up a delicious cocktail of jazz and pop blended with '70s and '80s R&B funk? It's a toss-up, as the Swedish collective ensures their live performances are joyous and unforgettable experiences for everyone. Stellar musicianship takes center stage at the band's shows, which feature drummer Aron Mellergardh's powerhouse percussion skills alongside bassist Henrik Linder's slick bass lines. Helming the show is frontman Jonah Nilsson, whose piercing falsetto and huge range recall legends like Stevie Wonder and Curtis Mayfield. The top-notch production and polished arrangements of their recorded songs translate beautifully to the stage, and Dirty Loops continue to stun ticket buyers with note-perfect performances on tour.

BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:

Bassist Henrik Linder, drummer Aron Mellergardh, and vocalist/keyboardist Jonah Nilsson formed Dirty Loops in 2008 while attending the Royal College of Music in Stockholm, Sweden. The trio's big break came when their version of Lady Gaga's "Just Dance" racked up a whopping 100,000 views on YouTube in just two months. They followed it up with creative covers of pop songs by Justin Bieber, Adele, Rihanna, Britney Spears, and Justin Timberlake. The viral videos caught the attention of Swedish producer/songwriter Andreas Carlsson, who promptly signed them to a management deal. Producer/songwriter David Foster then signed the group to Universal Music subsidiary Verve Records and brought them on his 2012 Asian tour. The band released their debut album Loopified in 2014, which boasts two covers and 10 original tracks including standout single "Hit Me". Their 2014-2015 Loopified tour is taking them through Europe, the U.S., and Asia, delivering their energetic shows to crowds all over the world.

    The Commodore, WORST SOUND

    by Michael D. on 4/14/24Commodore Ballroom - Vancouver

    I am a musician and was, for 25 years, a location and studio sound engineer. Dirty Loops is one of my favourite bands. They are superlative, in my humble opinion. Unfortunately, the sound "engineering", and I use the term loosely, at the Commodore in Vancouver, BC was the worst! In fact, this is the second show I've attended there where I've walked out - NOT because of the band, but because of the unbelievably BAD SOUND. It is whomever is "at the board", not the sound system - and, I know this BECAUSE I've seen several shows in the same venue with BRILLIANT sound!!!!! I know the gear at the Commodore, I know what it's potential is and it's capabilities - BUT it all depends on "who is in control of the mixing board"! Whomever it was for the Dirty Loops show does great disservice to the band, the sound system and the Commodore. To further support my opinion, I've been to a show with Dirty Loops at another venue (in Seattle), similar size, similar system - and the sound was amazing! I couldn't have done better myself.

    Virtuosic funk-jazz-R&B superhuman musicians👏🏼🙌🏼

    by Funky Scott on 4/7/24The Underground - Charlotte

    Outstanding! Bravissimo!! Dirty Loops are beyond category. The most perfect band that possesses higher levels of musicianship, hipness, funkiness and authenticity us mere mortals cannot fathom. What planet are these cats from? Seriously inspiring to see so many folks/musicians at this show from all walks of life & musical tastes supporting Dirty Loops and singing along to their incredible riffs/licks! These guys pulled it off LIVE!. Sounded just as phenomenal as the recordings if not better in concert🤘🏼. Hopefully a live album to come? You can’t help but love these cats ✌🏼 such an otherworldly-authentic-hip-virtuosic vibe. Inspired me to immediately go home and practice my bass until the wee hours😛

    Great band - worthless DJ - Venue needs seating!

    by Dash on 4/7/24The Loft - Atlanta

    The pros: DIRTY LOOPS WERE AMAZING! The employees at The Loft were all wonderful. The cons: WHY did they have a DJ playing monotonous dance music for an hour delaying the start time of a band of real musicians the crowd came to see & hear? It was not advertised, and we wouldn't have gotten there as early as we did if we knew we'd have to wait until after 9pm. For older, or height challenged folks, it's a real drag there is no seating available other than where you can't see the band and the stage is not high enough for those in the back to see.

    Impeccable in so many ways!

    by GeneDL on 4/6/24House of Blues Chicago - Chicago

    What can I say about the Dirty Loops? All praises pale in comparison with the band. They are the ultimate musicians’ musicians of today. They are an absolute inspiration to legions of people who play music around the world. Seeing them in a concert is an honor and an utter joy of listening to enticing music, to an utmost musicianship and of witnessing of what true greatness is about. Diving into multiple styles to draw ideas and convert them into dazzling array of notes and sounds - that’s what the concert was about. It leaves a lasting impression on anyone who understands and loves music with all its intricacies. Thank you, Dirty Loops for showing us that the music is not dead… we just need to work harder yo uncover the beauty of it.

    Amazing show!!!

    by Brian S on 4/6/24House of Blues Chicago - Chicago

    I’ve been a DL fan for a number of years, and have been patiently waiting for them to return to the US, since I missed them the first time they were here in 2014. I bought the VIP package cause I figured it was a once in a lifetime chance, but after this performance, I’m more excited to see them again! The people at HOB Chicago were really nice, and the DL team were really cool as well! As for the show… it was amazing. Knowing that this show was midway through their tour, I was expecting a solid show, but maybe a little fatigue showing in their performance. Fortunately, they came out firing on all cylinders… and the mix of high energy music with appropriate breaks in the action was really well executed. They played for a solid 90 minutes, then only took a 2 minute break before coming back out to do their 3 song encore. Total show time was an hour and 45 minutes, and the crowd was engaged the whole time. Bottom line- they’re still in North America for a couple more weeks… if they’re coming close to you (and by close, I mean within a 3-4 hour drive), go. They are worth every dollar you spend.

    One of the Best Live Bands on the Planet

    by G&T on 4/4/24The Loft - Atlanta

    Dirtly Loops is one of the best live bands we have ever seen. Every single member is at the very top of his game and they deserved a much better venue than the LOFT. They delivered a masterful performance filled with energy and joy...highly recommend!

    Dirty Loops, Doesn’t get cleaner

    by Grayson on 4/3/24The Loft - Atlanta

    This band has always blown my mind when listening over streaming and I’ve used their music for live events when I run audio! Their music is energetic, fun, complex and builds anticipation for what comes next! Dirty Loops was happy to stay and meet everyone at the merch table even at a sold out show! Somehow this incredible band is even tighter musically live than on the records. The Vocals had range that made the audience gasp! Bass lines that melt the mind and the ears! The drums played with such mathematical precision and tonality that the audience was multiple times thrown backwards in awe! Incredible band, incredible show! 10/10 would go again!

    What I expected…

    by TRbassix on 4/3/24The Loft - Atlanta

    Was everything I thought it would be and more. Took a little long to come out and the crowd was getting restless with e DJ (he was great too BTW) but they definitely were with the wait. Glad I seen them this time since the last time they were in Atlanta was 10 years ago.

    Band is AMAZING…Venue absolutely SUX

    by Jimmie on 4/3/24The Loft - Atlanta

    Dirty Loops sounded phenomenal…however, I never saw them because I was standing near the sound booth and couldn’t see over the people in front of me. The Loft is the worst venue I’ve ever been to!!! Standing only and packed in like sardines…we arrived 45 before show and show started an hour late…so that’s standing in one place for over an 1.75 hrs BEFORE the show even started!! I really would’ve loved to have SEEN the band that I was hearing as they are probably my favorite band right now. I will NEVER go back to that venue. To make it even worse, the bathrooms are located near the stage, so everyone has to push their way all the way through the crowd to access them.
