Dirt Fishermen were based in Boise, Idaho in the post-grunge era of 1988-1994. They consisted of five original members, Dave Grapp, Gina Gregerson, KT Shanafelt, Dan Krejci, and Gavin. In 1992 the band signed to C/Z records based in Seattle, WA. This label was home to fellow Idahoans, the TreePeople and later Built to Spill. The band shifted gears from a politically charged folk-rock five piece to a female rocker-fronted four piece backed by new drummer Glenn Newkirk. They toured the US with noted bands Sunny Day Real Estate and the Mieces as well as Monks of Doom and Dirt Clod Fight. The group disbanded in 1994 and all members individually worked separately on new musical projects. The group held reunion shows in October of 2006 to large crowds of loyal fans in their home town of Boise, Idaho. The group remains on hiatus, vowing to play occassionally.
