Dirty Sexy Knights in Paris was Audiovent's one shot at the big time. The Calabasas, California, band had spent years kicking around as Vent, changed its name when Atlantic Records signed it in 2001, and put this album out on the label in 2002. It's alternative rock built for the rock radio of its moment, with Jason Boyd's vocals riding the big, crunching riffs of Benjamin Einziger's guitar and Paul Fried's bass pulling hard underneath.
"The Energy" and "Looking Down" went out as singles, and the band hit the road with Saliva and Theory of a Deadman to push the record. There was never a second major-label album. They demoed more than 19 songs for a follow-up through 2003, but creative differences split them up in mid-2004 before any of it was properly recorded.
