The Arrogants

Press release - 6 July 2023 11:11

French Garage Sensations THE ARROGANTS to Drop Sophomore LP "Brainwash" via Dirty Water Records

The Arrogants have been captivating audiences with their unique blend of '60s Mod, Garage Rock, Psychedelia, Blues, and R&B. After the success of their debut 7" "Introducing" and their first LP/CD "No Time To Wait," which garnered international acclaim and led to exhilarating tours across England, Spain, Germany, France and iconic venues such as the Cavern Club in Liverpool and the Beat Bespoke Festival in London.

Now, after much anticipation from fans all over the world, The Arrogants are thrilled to announce the upcoming release of their second album titled "Brainwash." This long-awaited album is set to hit the shelves on 21/7/2023 on Dirty Water Records - the very same label that catapulted their previous releases into success.

With influences deeply rooted in the '60s Mod scene and UK R&B soundscapes fused with their own modern twists and reinventions; it's no wonder that The Arrogants have caught the attention of industry veterans.

In a recent meeting with Pete Townshend of The Who, he expressed his admiration for The Arrogants' work. Townshend wrote for their upcoming album sleeve: “I love all these tunes, the videos, and the look of the band. BUT…I think you may have been born into the wrong era!! Ha ha. You really have captured the vibe of the very early ‘60s Mod scene and the UK R&B scene, this will work because you have reinvented it all so well. I wish you luck.” Pete Townshend

In another exciting development, The Arrogants were invited to open for The Who at Paris Défense Arena in front of 40,000 people on 23 JUN. This incredible opportunity showcases their rising status as a must-see live act.

The Arrogants authentically revive and reimagine the sound and spirit of '60s Mod and UK R&B scenes. Their songs, visuals, and overall aesthetic perfectly embody that era while adding their own contemporary twist.
