Dirty Water Rock & Indie 14 Artikel

The 2018 full-length by the Cleveland-based brother duo of Emmett and Cullen O'Connor (a.k.a. Archie & The Bunkers). Influences range from jazz organ greats like Jimmy Smith to punk icons s.a. Dead Boys, The Stooges, The Screamers, The Damned and more.

The 2015 debut-album by the London-based Kiwi garage-punkmiscreants, reissued on 180-gram red vinyl!

Here's the 2017 full-length by King Salami & The Cumberland Three, London's only rhythm'n'blues-punk band. 'Goin' Back To Wurstville' is guaranteed to get you dancing like a madman!

Harry Violet & The Sharks is the name of a dark sax-driven rock'n'roll 4-piece, crawling the streets of London, intent on mixing dive-bar jive and 12-bar rhythms with nightmarish grooves. This, the band's debut 7-inch single, contains two original cuts inspired by the wild and wacky adventures of Frank Buck and, as showcased by the flip 'Dance At The Korova', the dystopian youth madness of 'A Clockwork Orange'. Captivated by the raw sounds of The Sonics, Kip Tyler and Link Wray, the members recorded, produced and pressed the 45 themselves.

MFC Chicken is back in action with Colonel Spencer back from spending another well-dressed summer hidden deep within the Canadian Wilderness. The Chickens are ready to take Europe by storm with a new album and extended tour of Spain and the UK. After debuting an expanded all-star DELUXE line up at Spring 2016's Hipsville Festival to great acclaim and significant excitement, MFC Chicken have taken this new and improved recipe into the studio for their latest and greatest album to date, GOIN' CHICKEN CRAZY. It keeps that same raw Chicken energy, humour and party vibe that you fans have all come to know and love while adding extra punch and power with a load of special guest talent. In addition to the core line up of Spencer Evoy (Tenor Sax and Lead Vocals), Alberto Zioli (Lead guitar and vocals) Zig Criscuolo (Bass) and Ravi-Low Beer (Drums), the Deluxe line up includes Chuchi Malapersona (Oh! Gunquit) on baritone sax, Dan Criscuolo (The Fuzillis) on baritone guitar, Tim Harrison (The Caezars) on piano, as well as veteran Chickens The Reverend Parsley on guest keys and Fernando Terror sharing double lead vocals with Spencer on one of the albums' most lyrically inappropriate tunes. The Deluxe Chicken line up will feature at the October 20th Dirty Water Club album launch party at Nambucca (located on the legendary birth road of MFC Chicken, Holloway Road), and at several of the Spanish dates on MFC extensive Iberian tour taking place late October/November 2016. In addition to their new album set for official release in November 2016, MFC have more exciting poultry products in the pipe line. They've been in the studio with Sister Cookie, recording two more exciting tunes for their second collaborative single and, after an unforgettable performance backing up the legendary GARY US BONDS at the Surforama Festival in Spain, they're in the process of collaborating with the R&B legend for a brand new single. Stay tuned for updates!

Another mind-blowing collection of garage-punk from Cleveland's Archie And The Bunkers! The band's influences range from organ driven mod-jazz to punk pioneers à la Stooges, Dead Boys and The Damned.

THE ARROGANTS appear to be a part of a growing wave of young people who, unlike many other teenagers of their generation, are not too interested in video games and the hipster bands name-checked by Pitchfork and so on. These particular young men, alongside a number of others in various countries (some of whom will also be seen on Dirty Water Records very soon) have happily spent their teens investigating classic 20thcentury music: blues, rock’n’roll, garage-rock, rhythm’n’blues. . . And they decided they wanted guitars in their hands rather than games consoles. The Arrogants began their musical archaology first as a 14-year-old duo, then as a 15-year-old trio . . . Then with an organist, as a quartet, they were ready to be heard by the wider world, with their debut EP, (‘Introducing the Arrogants’ on Dirty Water Records). And now, with the addition of a fifth band member, a rhythm guitarist, to further fill out their sound they are ready with their first long-player. Whilst digging the sounds of the past, they have successfully developed their own repertoire, writing their own songs and gaining recognition in their home town by playing as support to their heroes The Pretty Things and appearing at the Lille Vintage Weekend in front of 15,000 strong crowd. And, recently, they appeared in front of 57,000 people opening for Lenny Kravitz at the Mainsquare Festival in Arras, France. Produced by French Londoner Healer Selecta (aka Yvan Serrano) and mastered by Pete Maher (who has worked for U2, The Killers, Rolling Stones, and Jack White, amongst other famous names), these eleven tracks were recorded at the vintage studio of the National Belgian Corporation in just three days. Serrano remembers seeing the sixteen-year-old Arrogants on stage for the first time, ‘It was a strange feeling, as though I was watching an original garage band. Their garage sound is pure, minimal and wild. To make true sixties garage, it should have this youthful energy and not over-do the technical ability to make for a real musical experience.’

Do you love dancing but hate contemporary dance music? Are you desperate to hear garage rock'n'roll really taken back to its Sonics-best roots? If so, then you are most definitely ready for that indescribable, unstoppable Chicken sound, the latest and greatest item on the rock'n'roll dance menu!
