Exciters

This is what gigwise.com said last time these Southampton boys played Dirty Water: "...playing a good set of straight-ahead garage rock originals mixed with a few covers...their 'Have Love Will Travel' was absolutely ace and was a particular highlight. Thee Exciters possess possibly one of the most charismatic singers I have seen in a long time, and his Jagger-esque dance moves were thoroughly entertaining. They're definitely ones worth seeing again." Their second single release, on the (ahem) Dirty Water label sold quick and established their name around the world, leading to a number of gigs abroad. Reviewing that 45rpm slab of 7" vinyl NME said: "Conforming to the rule that any band who spell 'The' with two 'e's will always be beer-soaked garage rockers (see also: Thee Headcoats, Thee Shams), the second single from Thee Exciters comprises four songs, each more beer-soaked and garage-rockin' than the last. Fittingly for a band whose singer has a reputation for on-stage nudity, the likes of "Ugly Face" and "Things Ain't Right" are the kind of songs that in the unlikely event that they woke up one morning as dogs would be muzzled, or at the very least made to wear one of those funny plastic cones around their heads to stop them chewing their own balls. An oblique recommendation, yes, but we're standing by it." The album "Spending Cash, Talking Trash" is out now on Dirty Water Records.
