Terribles | See Les Terribles on Myspace
For those who love their sixties sounds with a bit of ooh la la, here are Les Terribles. If you thought that France only gave us Sasha Distel and Johnny Halliday, think again. There were French bands that could do the Stones or Yardbirds as good as anyone - but sung in French. And Les Terribles are here to show that they can still do it today. -
Lord Rochester | See Lord Rochester on Myspace
Lord Rochester are obsessed with Bo Diddley - and if you're down with the Bo Diddley beat, as any right thinking person should be, you know that can only be a good thing. Resplendant in their tartan togs, these Scottish gentlemen, according to UK Rock magazine, have "a complete understanding of what constitutes rock'n'roll, and then also have the ability to playfully subvert it, while remaining within the genre".
Venue: Music Room at the Boston Arms

Jack Oblivian | See Jack O on Myspace
Memphis based Jack Oblivian (aka Jack Yarber) was a founding member of the garage-bands The Compulsive Gamblers and The Oblivans but he has contributed to a dizzying array of projects over the years, including Andre Williams, Jack Oblivian & the Tennessee Tearjerkers, The Cool Jerks, '68 Comeback, King Louie & His Loose Diamonds, Greg Oblivian & the Tip Tops, Jack Oblivian & The Cigarillos, The Natural Kicks and Tav Falco's Panther Burns. Jack Oblivian channels the spirit of proto punk as well as blues, country and junkyard rock; his songs embody haunting, echo-y swamp boogie. Jack Oblivian is as near to a legend as you can get in the contemporary garage-rock scene. -
Harlan T Bobo | See Harlan T Bobo on Myspace
Arriving in Memphis nine years ago after traveling a route as circuitous as that of any fugitive, Harlan has been busy endearing himself to local fans and soaking up as much of the city's rich musical history as possible. Instead of shedding light on the man behind the music, his intensely personal lyrics have actually served to help perpetuate his enigmatic persona. However, with the release of his second album, I'm Your Man, one thing about Harlan T. Bobo can no longer remain an uncertainty -- his musical talent is the real thing. It's true, the man with a name that could've come straight from A Confederacy of Dunces can write classic heartbreaker songs with the best of 'em. -
Limes | See Limes on Myspace
Abandoning any pretext of showiness or pretense, Limes instead play to their strengths – 70s blues guitar & King Missile-esque low, almost spoken vocals, like the Creedence Clearwater Revival on prozac.

Dirty Water live
As of August 2009, any gigs listed on this website are now being promoted by Dirty Water Records rather than the Dirty Water Club. After the partnership between PJ and the Professor was dissolved the Club no longer exists.
However, the record label will continue to organise occasional gigs at a variety of venues in the future. Though they will mostly be for the purpose of promoting bands on the label they may feel inclined to organise gigs for visiting bands that we like well enough.
Please make sure to join the mailing list to keep up-to-date with what is going on. Or become friends on Myspace at http://www.myspace.com/dirtywaterclub to receive invites and bulletins.
