2013 Live Music Announced - Dirty Crush
Dirty Crush will be playing at the Plunge and we invite you all to arrive at noon to hear them play.
Dirty Crush is a rock n roll band out of Tulsa, Oklahoma. It is the culmination of driving bass riffs, heavy rock beats, mesmerizing guitar leads, powerful vocals and a rock n roll attitude that forms a unique style they like to call “Dirty Southern Rock”.
Dirty Crush was formed in 2012 from a simple desire to just play real rock n roll music. The show they put on means as much as the music they play and write, resulting in a genuine, fast paced, full-throttle rock n roll experience.
The band is made up of musicians who have been playing since childhood, perfecting their skills and finding their own styles. Musical influences are all over the place, from heavy metal and 80’s rock to blues, blue grass, grunge and even some country. These influences have contributed to the well rounded and tight sound you will find at a Dirty Crush show.
This group of guys, whose talent and creativity have been honed in the local music scene, have played in various bands including Cue Last Image, Shock Culture, Static, Through the Thorns, Driven. Nasty Neighbor Being a big fan of local venues, they have played The Tree House, The Venue Shrine, Ole Memorial Lounge, Tankz, White Crow, Zombie Lounge, Copperhead Bike Rally & Battle of the Bands, and private parties. Dirty Crush is a rock n roll good time where no one leaves unsatisfied and everyone has fun.

Leon's Tulsa Sponsors the Plunge and the Liquid Courage
The Tatur Polar Bear Plunge would like to thank Leon's Tulsa for sponsoring the Plunge as well as for providing all the Rumple Minze to the plungers so that they can have a bit of "Liquid Courage" before the race.
Leon's Tulsa is known for having some of the BEST food in the Tulsa area. They have hands down the best atmosphere with a skylight that you just have to see. Leon's happy hours are the best in town and they also give back to the Tulsa community more than the every day Joe will ever know.
Leon's wonderful staff will be on hand to pour all the 21 and over crowd a bit of "Liquid Courage" before the plunge. This is just one of the many ways that Leon's supports events in the Tulsa area that promote fitness.
THANKS LEON'S !! Please visit their Facebook Page and thank them for their generosity!
Please watch for their new location that is getting ready to open at 3302 W. Kenosha St. in Broken Arrow.
Rumple Minze is a German-style liqueur brand, best known for their peppermint schnapps.
The peppermint liqueur is made by the Scharlachberg Distillery in Germany. It has a strong peppermint taste, and it has a high alcohol content at 50% alcohol by volume, (100 proof) compared to the 40% or 80 proof of most liquors. It is commonly served chilled straight up (in some cases as a digestif or it can also be mixed to form various cocktails. It is commonly taken with a "chaser" of chocolate sauce which allows the drinker to consume larger quantities faster, with little or no heavy alcohol taste.
Rumple Minze was rated a 95 (out of 100) by the Beverage Tasting Institute. The success of their peppermint schnapps has led Rumple Minze to release two new flavors which include a Berry flavored liqueur and a Lime flavored liqueur, both of which remain 100 proof.
The logo on the front of the bottle is a picture of a Double-Headed Golden Eagle. This symbol is a reference to the German coat of arms, the country in which Rumple Minze is produced.
Rumple Minze is produced in Canada from a German recipe, not in Germany.
This is the drink that Leon's Tulsa recommends to the adult plungers.
