The Archetypes are a Rock band from Charleston, SC. Since forming on the campus of the College of Charleston in 1987, the Archetypes have packed clubs throughout the Southeast USA and Wadley's Music Farm in the 1990s. Known for their live shows,Tommy Dew's antics on stage were supercharged and magnetic. Safe to argue, he was and likely still is one of the most dynamic frontmen in Holy City's band history. Urged by Wadley's sinewy leads, Dew belted out songs about sex and the South that connected with alternative music lovers in college towns throughout.
Influenced by the leaders of the sing-about-what-you-know-and-where-you-live Southern rock movement, REM, the Archetypes also give major nods to the Meat Puppets, the Feelies, the Minutemen and the influence matter-of-factly listed by all the above bands, the Velvet Underground. Throw in some Grateful Dead and funky funk and the there you have what made a night seeing this band so damn sweaty and memorable.
