'Sweet' band's rock dirty, hairy

Dirty Sweet's muscular mustache rock swings from pretty balladry to the kind of hard-charging, dirt-clogged rock 'n' roll that Foghat fetishists can revel in. Their facial hair is wild and woolly and so are their tunes, alive with slobberin' riffs, leering come-ons and a free swingin' impulsiveness. See 'em now before they start playing stages as big as their sound. See Dirty Sweet at 9 p.m. Wednesday at the Beauty Bar, 517 Fremont St. Tickets are $7; call 598-1965.
