About Me

Arc Welders have been performing live since July'04. They have played most of their shows at the Anarchy Library, Weber's, Studio Suite,Knitting Factory and Chain Reaction. They have been a 3-piece since their inception, but have recently began performing with a 2-piece brass section. They just recorded a version of "Kick over the Statues" by the '80's British band "The Redskins", for a tribute album to be released in May in the U.K.. The disc will feature international acts performing songs from the Redskins catalogue. There aren't any definite plans in the Arc Welders' future, except to play really good shows and keep the music rockin', skankin' and swingin'! The Arc Welders continue to battle on against endless oddities, includo, some of their beast friends. Playing as many shows as capable of, is a hardline band virtue...weddings, parties anything, and roots, rock,rhythm especiality...
