Pete And The Tar Gang: Songs Of The Hollow Bone Moon
2nd Oct 2008 - 10th Oct 2008
Presenter: The Old Tar Gang
Website:
Event Duration: 55 minutes
Very Special Album Launch Shows...
This gang deal in salty, cantankerous sea shanties, carnival tunes, junkyard melodies and haunting waltzes. Their songs simmer in ghost-town ghosts, sailors, carny folk, opium-den dreams, angelic maidens and characters pushed to various extremes. They perform as if broadcasting from their own special world or some elaborate nightmare.
These ramshackle felons sail in through the Dickensian fog to hoist their show and debut album firmly in the salty Fringe air. From the same swine who brought the sellout 'Four Rogues' to this year's Next Wave Festival.
‘a rollicking ride on a leaky vessel lost in the North Sea and accompanied by madmen... elements of Dickens, Poe, David Lynch’ - Village Newspaper
‘Interestingly organic and esoteric sound... alternately intriguing and shocking’ – Artshub
