Dirty Laundry - Laundromat © 2008

Dirty Laundry plays FUNK! Sweaty, Stanky, Smelly, Bottom-of-your-Seat-FUNK! Brad Webb (drums) and Trey Boudreaux (bass) throw down a beat so nasty, your booty won't be able to sit still. Layered on top are the syncopated stylings of Teddy Voorhies (keys) and Mike Lahey (guitar), while Adam Batiste (trumpet) and Andrew Smith (sax) soar on top with melodies so beautiful, they bring Celine Dion to tears.

Founded in 2005, Dirty Laundry is a groove/funk group based in Lafayette that has rocked stages ranging from New Orleans to Lake Charles. The members all hail from the Lafayette area, but now many of them attend college in other parts of the state as well as the country. Over breaks, and whenever they can manage, they play a smattering of feel good groovy music that makes the crowds dance. Recently Dirty Laundry was voted as one of the top jazz groups in Lafayette and is livin' up to their fans and releasing "Laundromat" their first album.

Don Henley › Dirty Laundry (5:51)

I make my living off the evening news
Just give me something-something I can use
People love it when you lose,
They love dirty laundry

Well, I coulda been an actor, but I wound up here
I just have to look good, I dont have to be clear
Come and whisper in my ear
Give us dirty laundry

Kick em when theyre up
Kick em when theyre down
Kick em when theyre up
Kick em when theyre down
Kick em when theyre up
Kick em when theyre down
Kick em when theyre up
Kick em all around

We got the bubble-headed-bleach-blonde who
Comes on at five
She can tell you bout the plane crash with a gleam
In her eye
Its interesting when people die-
Give us dirty laundry

Can we film the operation?
Is the head dead yet?
You know, the boys in the newsroom got a
Running bet
Get the widow on the set!
We need dirty laundry

You dont really need to find out whats going on
You dont really want to know just how far its gone
Just leave well enough alone
Eat your dirty laundry

Kick em when theyre up
Kick em when theyre down
Kick em when theyre up
Kick em when theyre down

Kick em when theyre up
Kick em when theyre down
Kick em when theyre stiff
Kick em all around

Dirty little secrets
Dirty little lies
We got our dirty little fingers in everybodys pie
We love to cut you down to size
We love dirty laundry

We can do the innuendo
We can dance and sing
When its said and done we havent told you a thing
We all know that crap is king
Give us dirty laundry!
