Formed in 2003, the Canadian band The Dirty Tricks didn't waste any time before recording their first ep "Bloody Breakfast". They released it on their very own record label (Les Disques Grabuge) late 2003. It's crystal clear, this five-song tease(Bloody Breakfast CDep) shows this band's superior export appeal. A eardrum-shredding outfit that effectively mixes the all-guns blazing aggression of The Hellacopters and the fractured intensity of Hot Snakes. Holding back the reigns just enough to have a poppy panache, this rugged rock'n'roll group sounds almost as gutter-laden as they do professional. While that could have been tragic, it's actually rather infectious! Bloody Breakfast's title track, a straight-no-chaser butterfly knife that can cut through steel, appeared in 2004 (Season 1) and 2005 (Season 2) as the theme song of the skateboard TV show: THE UNDERATTACK SHOW, broadcasted on Canada's national channel GLOBAL, and on Quebec's french version of the music channel MUCH MUSIC, MUSIQUE PLUS. The song also made it's way on a 4x4 DVD called Full Throttle.

The addition of their new member Patrick playing synth is exactly what the Dirty Tricks needed to complete the band. The band has played with: the Ponys, C'mon, the Frenetics, Grabass Charlestons, Tricky Woo, Uss Horsewhip, Starvin Hungry, the Hot Springs, Just A Fire, Malajube, Red Satyrs, Two Gallants, the Radio Beats. Their new 7 songs ep "Demerits", that is even more intense and diversified than their first, is coming out on Blue Skies Turn Black in 2006. Their first full length, Sauve Qui Peut surfaced in 2007 on Blue Skies Turn Black.
