Born in Seattle Washington, The Filthy Whores were a jazzy lounge quartet who played music with a sultry cabaret feel and a touch of Americana. Melodica sometimes found its way into their sets. The Filthy Whores are a "sexy, fun and very talented lounge act, something you can't say about most people under that heading." (Greg Lundgren, The Hideout) If Patsy Cline opted for the lounge and cabaret circuit instead of Nashville, Billie Holiday had Tenacious D as her backup musicians and Dean Martin and the Andrews Sisters got it on and had three unruly children it would feel a little like The Filthy Whores.

The Filthy Whores perfomed regularly at The Hideout. They also performed at 12 Minutes Max, a monthly performance exhibition put on by On The Boards. The March 2006 show was curated by SuttonBeresCuller.

The Filthy Whores name is an analogy - to the manual laborers, to those whose day is measured by a timeclock, to those who do the gritty, unglamorous modest wage work in our society - as opposed to the literal gender oriented meaning.
