The Dirty Rooks are an American rock band from Chicago, Illinois, whose music has been described as "booze rock".〔 They are influenced by classic-rock artists such as The Rolling Stones, The Faces, and Led Zeppelin. ==History== The band was formed by Grant Gholson and Dan Stalilonis as “Moustache” in 2003. After Ben Hunt and Nathan Urbansky (a.k.a. Nathan Urqhuart〔) joined in 2005, the group changed its name to "The Dirty Rooks". According to band members, the name comes from the slang use of the word "rook” meaning to swindle or cheat and derived from the thieving, magpie-like tendencies of the common rook. As they played in various small clubs in Chicago, The Dirty Rooks began receiving notice as a classic blues-rock revival group similar to The Black Crowes. In 2007 they were Top 20 finalists in the Lollapalooza Last Band Standing contest, nearly winning a performance slot at the festival. Guitarist Mike Bailey joined in 2008, and after sitting in with the band for several years, keyboardist Alan Bailey joined as an official member in 2010. The Dirty Rooks have played with well-known acts like The Steepwater Band, The Waco Brothers, Jon Langford, Lez Zeppelin,〔 Foghat, and Blue Öyster Cult.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = Naperville Exchange Club )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Dirty Rooks」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
