show 85: Formed in the new millennium by front-man Dirty Dave Johnson, The Glasspack is the answer to the worn-out southern rock of the classic rock airwaves and the sudden staleness of modern hard rock radio. Distinctly of Louisville, this creative and unique Kentucky band has pulled its influences from the best of the 60's jam rock and 70's hard rock punk, thus obtaining a very wide variety of listeners and fans.

The Glasspack's music can be found in episodes of MTV's Viva La Bam and Homewreckers shows, and even video games like Discovery Channel's Monster Garage by Activision and ESPN's 2K5 Pro Baseball.

The Glasspack has now finished it's fourth full-length release, entitled Dirty Women on Small Stone Recordings. The album was recorded with vintage analog equipment and all American Fender Guitars. More info on the Glasspack can be found at at www.theglasspack.com and www.smallstone.com
