Here is part two of our exclusive interview with the Dirty Pearls infamous drummer Marty E. In this installment, we talk about the future plans of The Dirty Pearls, favorite albums, and who has put out the best rock music continent wise. Enjoy it.

BnR: After the Bowery show, what will be on tap for the Dirty Pearls for the rest of 2009?

Marty: What we really want to do is make a record. We would like to make a really kick ass rock n' roll record. At least in my mind something cohesive with our range. I'd like to go in with a damn good producer who can help us tweak these tunes and get the best we can out of them in terms of our performances. We definitely have that on our mind.

We are working with a manager now, who I love a lot. His name is Dave Delzio. I love ya, Dave. He has a lot of ideas in terms of getting us marketed. He is handling a lot of that. As far as actual shows booked, we have some ideas, but we don't have anything official on the roster. We don't know the results of this show [Bowery]. Really nice surprises popped up from the last one and we are hoping for a repeat performance plus. It's kind of like girls. It's not who wants to sleep with you, it's who wants to sleep with you again. That's what David Lee Roth says anyway.

BnR: What is the greatest music video ever made?

Marty: Wow. I personally like the video for Panama. It showcases the wacky hi jinx they had going on on the road. A lot of people would say Hot For Teacher. I am going to say off the top of my head, Panama. That song and that video represents something near and dear to my heart, summertime, good time rock n' roll. Depending on what I eat for lunch tomorrow, I might tell ya something different.

I thought Welcome to the Jungle was a cool video. Believe it or not, I thought The Cult's Firewoman was a cool video, even though it was just stage footage. I always liked those videos that just had a band playing. Some people find it boring, but I think that's the best way to get the essence of what a band is all about - seeing them kicking ass and doing what they do best.

BnR: I was reading this article that the Onion's AV club put together. It was the 25 albums that work best when played all the way through, beginning to end. Number one was Frank Sinatra's Come Fly With Me. Pink Floyd's The Wall, Quadrophenia, by the Who. What would be your album?

Marty: Appetite it one. I like Hanoi Rocks Two Steps from the Move a lot. Backyard Babies Total 13 is really good. I am just going down my iTunes. The most recent one is Black Rebel Motorcycle Club's Howl. Tom Waits Nighthawks at the Diner. I used to enjoy Queensryche's Operation Mindcrime. Van Halen's Fair Warning. Simon and Garfunkel's Greatest Hits. Any Stones album up until Tattoo You.

I guess that is one thing missing from a lot of young rock fans minds are listening to an entire album and using that in the same way you would use a movie. People just buy from iTunes and they really cut themselves off from listening to a great album. But to each their own. Another album I'd have on my list is Mother Love Bone's Apple. Johnny Cash's Folsom Prison. There is a lot of great rock n' roll out there. I feel like I am only missing about 15 million of them.

BnR: Here is another question I have been having trouble with. Which continent has consistently produced the best rock music?

Marty: I should study my iPod and get back to you on that one. That's a tough one.

BnR: My mind immediately goes to Europe with Motorhead, The Beatles, The Stones. But then I start thinking about American bands like Van Halen, Aerosmith.

Marty: I agree with you about the whole British Invasion thing. But at the same time a lot of those bands, The Beatles and The Stones, were all influenced by American Blues. A lot that is cool, that is a relative term, but a lot of that coolness, whether it's jazz, country, rock n roll, descends from the Blues. So off the top of my head, I am going to say North America for me just because of that alone. A lot of that descended from the Mississippi Delta. By default, I would almost say that wins, but in terms of sheer amounts of bands and albums/songs, that's a tough call. I would say that at least for siring all things that became influential, I would say North America.

You have to remember Motown too. The Stones and The Faces were very influenced by that stuff. The Temptations, the Four Tops. John Bonham from Led Zeppelin didn't go anywhere without his Temptations. I have just been listening to a lot of that stuff when I am at home, which is rare. When I am laying around in bed, hopefully with a friend - maybe not. Put some Temptations, Marvin Gaye, The Four Tops, and it kind of seaps it's way into your conscientiousness.

You can get good music anywhere. I haven't heard any good Antarctican sound yet, but who knows. It's the next big craze.

BnR: Are there any artists that you have recently fallen in love with. Perhaps an album you can't stop listening to. They have to be current though 2005-present.

Marty: I thought the first Kasabian album was pretty good. I thought the first Stills album was pretty good. The Thrills first album was pretty good. I will tell you about one band that you have to listen to if you haven't already from way back in the early 90's. It's a band called Gunfire Dance. Kind of Dolls, Heartbreakers crossed with a concrete block hitting your head. Kind of like the Union Dead, but a little more Chuck Berryish.

I mentioned Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. The Gutter Twins, Greg Dulli from the Afghan Whigs and Mark Lanegan from the Screaming Trees. I saw them last year at the Bowery, it was fucking beautiful. I thought the last Ash album was pretty good. Oh yea, Babylon Bombs from Stockholm Sweden. You would like them. The song is called Hometown Hero, it will knock you on your ass. It is real strong melodies. They would fit on a bill with us real well. In fact, I'd love to make that happen.

BnR: What's your best Spinal Tap moment?

Marty: A couple of things come to mind, some more embarrassing than others. How embarrassing should I go? How much of my guts should I spill here?

BnR: That's up to you, you know it's going right on the website.

Marty: Well I don't want to gross anyone out out there. Way back when, aw fuck it, who cares? Way back when, when I was in a band called The Slags, I played my first show at CBGBs. I had a sandwich from a deli that is long since closed. I think you are about to find out why. I had a roast beef sandwich with peppers and shit. Everyone loves their sandwiches, you know what I mean. I'm on stage and I'm playing. My guts were churning like a mother fucker. You can't postpone a show. So I am stuck between whatever and whatever. I was somehow able to handle it. It helps when you are a drummer and in that situation because you are sitting down.

I finished the gig, but didn't do as much standing up as I usually do. I ran downstairs into the infamous CBGBs bathrooms and well...how do you spell relief? Without being too graphic that is the most Spinal Tap-y moment I can think of off hand. Out on the road with a few people I have had some strange situations, but that one is probably the most Spinal Tap-y. I was hoping for something a bit sexier than that, but what the fuck?

We like to thank Marty E for taking time out of his busy schedule to talk to his favorite website, Blogs N' Roses. Make sure you catch The Dirty Pearls as they headline the Bowery Ballroom. You can try to win tickets from us here, or buy tickets from Ticketmaster.
