The Dirty Water Club is a long-running (in a town where most tend to be short-lived) London club night featuring bands influenced by 1960s garage punk. It was named after The Standells' 1966 hit single "Dirty Water".
The club night started in October 1996 in the Tufnell Park neighbourhood of north London, at a venue called The Boston (The Standells' hit glorifies the U.S. city of Boston, Massachusetts). It hosted weekly live performances.
Past performers have included White Stripes, Fleshtones, Billy Childish (of Thee Headcoats, The Buff Medways, and The Musicians of the British Empire), Von Bondies, Dirtbombs, Thee Michelle Gun Elephant, 5.6.7.8's, Horrors, Gories, Brian Jonestown Massacre, and Radio Birdman to name a few. The club has also seen some original 1960s performers, such as The Monks, Kim Fowley, and Sky Saxon of The Seeds.
