Thu 5th Tours, Bombs, Etc presents WILDBIRDS & PEACEDRUMS + Joe Gideon and the Shark + Banjo or Freakout
Doors 7.30 Drums and vocals combine to make Wildbirds & Peacedrums one of the most talked about bands of the year so far. Devastatingly good live, with Miriam Wallentin’s voice soulful and her husband, Andreas complementing her with percussion, creating a blend of free jazz ,blues and folk. Dynamic yet fragile at the same time, the songs they produce are full of love without being sweet, conjuring up a whirlwind of beats and yelps so life affirming it should really be prescribed. “Dynamic, sharp and none-more-visceral…..It’s difficult to communicate how much they impress without descending into twittering hyperbole” Drowned in Sound “Imagine Björk's Debut seriously fiending for a rhythm fix” Pitchfork “Her goosebump-invoking sound operates on a sliding scale between the blues roar of Janis Joplin on the one hand and the spookily evocative folk singing of Mary Margaret O'Hara on the other…What emerged was a heady brew of pagan blues, spiritual pop and ecstatic soul music" - The Guardian Support comes from Joe Gideon and the Shark, formerly of Bikini Atoll, this brother-sister duo bring the rock and roll, jaw dropping live, they mix heavy guitars and percussion with intense soul, building up to a frenzy of narrative driven heavy blues. Opening up the show is Banjo or Freakout, a one man band, creating a Hypnotic mix of loops and cascading beats, punk guitars and longing, heartfelt vocals. |
