Press release -
French Teen Garage Punks, The Arrogants : European tour dates
If you are a DJ, radio station, reviewer, etc. and have not received the Press Pack by separate email including images, tracks, artwork, and videos please contactmatt@dirtywaterrecords.co.uk to be added to our promo list.
THE ARROGANTS are part of a growing wave of young musicians who, unlike many other teenagers of their generation, are not much interested in the cool hipster bands name-checks. These particular young men, alongside a number of others in various countries (some of whom you may know from other Dirty Water Records releases), have happily spent their teens investigating classic twentieth century music: blues, rock’n’roll, garage-rock, rhythm’n’blues. . .
It's been a rather busy 2016 for these 'fab five' from Lille, France having recently been interviewed on French national television along with mainstream magazine features, countless articles, reviews and international radio play. The group have just produced in grand style, their first video for the title track and single off their scorching hot debut album, and now they are embarking on a 13 date European Tour in support of "No Time To Wait".
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.

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.
