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.

French Rockers - Les Grys-Grys: Pan Europe's 'Feverish Five' Festival Explosion

LES GRYS-GRYS have been described in a review in Shindig! magazine as ‘a revelation’. A live performance in London in May 2015 was, they wrote, ‘a reminder of how I felt as a teenager: the excitement of seeing an amazing live band when it was still a new experience for me. It made me remember why I fell in love with rock’n’roll in the first place.’
