Indistinct Radio Chatter
The debut. A collection born from the highest of values. Dedicated to their daughter, Bebe Magnolia.
Minneapolis, MN · Est. 2019
Shelly & Troy crashed into one another at the corner of space & time.
Witness the chemical reaction from that encounter.
Five Years of Making Noise
The Dirtpops are Shelly and Troy Warling, husband and wife, co-conspirators, and carriers of whatever genre you'd call sci-fi western folk goth. They've been releasing an album a year for the past four years, all recorded at home on GarageBand, produced by Troy.
Recently they recruited some friends to join them, so they could play and write music with people they love and finally bring it all to a stage near you.
"Playing a show at Red Rocks in Colorado. To strum my guitar and hear my voice echo and flow into the starry sky... touching people's hearts, helping the power of love overcome the love of power." Shelly on bucket list goals
They were invited to take part in basementsketches.org with other local Minneapolis musicians, one of their most memorable milestones. Now they're ready for what's next: your stage.

The Band
Five friends making music they love.
Troy Warling
Guitar & Vocals
Producer, songwriter, and the musical backbone of the Dirtpops. Guided by a deep love of melody and a voice recorder full of brilliant snippets.
Shelly Warling
Guitar & Vocals
Self-taught guitarist at 18, open mic veteran, and the lyrical heart of the operation. Earliest musical memory: chasing down Carpenters records with her mom across Denver.
Joe Habiger
Guitar · Keys · and more
Naturally gifted and effortlessly creative, Joe can pretty much pick up any instrument and make it sing. A welcome creative force who brings an easy, intuitive energy to everything he touches.
Micah Dahl
Drums
A motion craftsman who plays music with his soul. He is also reportedly able to see through walls and has a serious interest in astral projection. The groove never lies.
Andrew Charon
Bass
Rubik's Cube champion of Fargo, ND and a master of making something out of nothing. Shoots analogue photography and has a deep appreciation for Pink Floyd. The kind of guy who finds signal in the static.
