1 rock song, unsigned and without a label. "When I'm Gone" made you the first band in history to have a No. It was full, there must've been thousands of people there going, "Who the hell is this?" So it was kind of an immediate you're-doing-the-right-thing-with-your-life moment. And it was pretty awesome, it was the main stage at 1 o'clock, and the way they'd structured the sets, they alternated, so everyone came over. So I guess that's technically the first - boom, we've left L.A. That was right before the Slash in October, and then we made the EP. John: Yeah, if we had to pinpoint a specific moment, our first national gig would've been Aftershock 2018. It was our first real show as Dirty Honey.
But in terms of national exposure, I don't know, once "When I'm Gone" started climbing the charts and people were hearing about this unsigned band, it started to become a real thing, I think. Marc: were always kind of together, ever since a year into moving to L.A., and then everything really fell into place when Corey joined in like 2017-2018, it started to get a real push into professional.Įven though we always wanted to do something, we just never had that fourth member to make it a real band. So you guys kind of popped up out of nowhere in 2019 - you had this hit "When I'm Gone." You guys were around for years before that, but when did you really get the ball rolling and when did the national exposure really start happening?
