Dirty Vegas

So let's talk Dirty. Let's talk about three club faces who went into the studio just to see what they could do together and came up with 'Days Go By', a lush song about love and loss they thought might have underground potential, but little more: 'No one was playing tracks with vocals then.' So it came as a surprise when Pete Tong played it on his Radio One show for 12 weeks running. When Parlophone not only signed up the single but wanted an album to follow. When the song crashed the UK top 30 in May 2001. When Mitsubishi Cars picked up the track for their influential advertising campaign in the US and suddenly it was being played on every TV channel, every local radio station across America. It's a fairytale story of overnight success. It's every band's dream. Except, at first, Dirty Vegas weren't really a band at all.
