Archie and the Bunkers, which consists of teenage brothers Emmett and Cullen O'Connor on keys and vocals, formed in 2013. They are a musical anomaly in that the compositions they write are refreshingly new, but they draw their influences from classic musicians and movies of the past. 2015 has been a year that have seen the band propel from a mostly word of mouth local band to national and international acclaim.
On the back of their self titled debut album on Dirty Water Records, the brothers have announced a fifteen date European adventure, their first in what will be many more to come we can assure you. They will also be doing a series of dates with NYC's fabulous Dirty Fences in the Midwest; Detroit, Chicago ( appearing at the CIMM festival) and Madison are all on tap before they embark on their overseas journey - starting in Geneva - at Rock this Town and then on to Bourges for the 'way out' Cosmic Trip Festival .The band will be hitting the club circuit in Paris, Utrecht, Groningen, Amsterdam, and Antwerp before the much anticipated Hipsville a go ago festival performance in Bordon, UK.
The second leg will kick off in Spain with five shows starting in Madrid at the Wurlitzer Ballroom which we think will be one (of many) of those " I was there" performances for the Spanish and European audiences to always remember.

The Dirty Water Club started in October 1996 in the Tufnell Park neighbourhood of north London, at a venue called The Boston. The club's name is derived from The Standells' 1966 hit 'Dirty Water' which glorifies the US city of Boston, Massachusetts.
Past performers have included The White Stripes (voted by Q Magazine as one of the top 10 gigs of all time, Mojo one of the top 30 and Kerrang one of the top 100!), The Gories, NOBUNNY, Kid Congo Powers (from the Cramps), The Fleshtones, Billy Childish, Radio Birdman, The Dirtbombs, Thee Michelle Gun Elephant, The 5.6.7.8's, The Horrors and The Brian Jonestown Massacre to name just a few. The club has also seen some original '60s performers, such as The Monks, ? and the Mysterians, Kim Fowley, Sky Saxon, GONN, Michael Davis of the MC5 and more grace its stage.
Their in-house record label, Dirty Water Records, is one of the leading garage/beat/(real) R&B labels in the world.
