Curlee Wurlee! | See Curlee Wurlee! on Myspace
Playing a mix of 1960s oriented organ-driven beat, surf and fuzzed-out garage-punk consisting they describe themselves as a “sexy Frenglish beat fuzz sensation”, seeing as their songs are kind of a bit French and a bit English, but totally rock and roll. This is the most original garage bands of the last decade both for their music and due to their positioning themselves in the left wing with their lyrics and political positioning. Their new LP features 17 smashing hits, average length around two minutes, with a powerful blend of garage, soul, pop and mature though juvenile self-written compositions. -

Skuzzy punk’n’roll in the style of the New Bomb Turks is the order of the day with these Dutch guys. They don’t attempt to reign in the energy at all during a frenetic and action packed live show. Spitting out songs like a machine gun you get a full on tsunami of fast and raw garage punk rock’n’roll, but a singer that still keeps a soulful vibe, that makes me think that they’re soon to be underground legends.

Dirty Water live
The dates listed on this website are being promoted by Dirty Water Records rather than the Dirty Water Club. After the partnership between PJ and the Professor was dissolved in the summer of 2009 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.
