Pritchard and Dainton, founders of the notorious MTV series ‘Dirty Sanchez’ are set to bring their crazy antics to the Bloodstock Masses this year.
The duo are extremely excited about being added to the line up and stated; “We grew up listening to a load of these bands so to be a part of the same festival as them is fully nailing......Dirty Sanchez at Bloodstock will be a filthy marriage of carnage and anarchy, bring it ON!!!”
Having been good friends for over 22 years due to their love of skateboarding, their skill and dedication meant they both soon turned professional and later had over 20 skateboards named after them. Alongside the notoriety for their skateboarding skills they also gained reputations as jokers and pranksters causing chaos wherever they went, and in the year 2000 they released the most talked about skate video ever produced titled “Pritchard Vs Dainton”. It was the biggest skate video to ever hit the International scene, which generated a lot of interest in the skate community and eventually the British media. With big magazines like Loaded, FHM, The Face and a 10 min documentary on Channel 4’s TV show ‘Passengers’ they soon became big names in youth culture.
A few crazy months later they had their own TV show on MTV UK enrolling Dan Joyce and Mike ‘Pancho’ Locke titled ‘Dirty Sanchez’. The show was an instant success and was the first and only British produced MTV show to be sold worldwide. It eventually went to 64 countries and had 450 million viewers making it the second most watched show on MTV2 in the U.S. Due to their huge popularity, of course MTV came knocking for a second series….and it continued.…
Austrailian heavy metal comedian, Steve Hughes will also join the Bloodstock line-up with his unique brand of comedy. Described as not forced and having no gimmicks – what you see is what you get, and if you don’t like it, that’s your choice.
Remember what the world used to be like before we confused everyone with too many options and made everything so politically correct? Steve Hughes certainly does – it feels like he’s been recently revived from a time capsule interred 20 years ago in order to delightfully denigrate various methods of ‘oppression by stealth’ in this marvellous comedy show. Being a metal-head himself it’s no doubt that Hughes style of comedy will fit in perfectly within the surroundings of Catton Hall and Bloodstock Open Air.
Bloodstock Open Air 2012 takes place at Catton Hall August 9th – 12th. For further details on this year's event please visit the official website www.bloodstock.uk.com.
