Purr Proudly Presents:
A Medieval Christmas with Circulus & Ye Hotte Puppyes (The Hot Puppies) (Saturday 15th / 7.30 / £7.50/£6.50adv)
Circulus are a band of medieval fantasists armed with ancient wind instruments, 70s Moog synthesisers and ghostly harmonies. A gentle musical fistfight between a under-nourished 16th Century court musicians and an acid-soaked bunch of hippie-rockers from the early ‘70s. Reality's a fantasy!
“More ‘Greensleeves’ than Gang Of Four, Circulus are out of step with any music made since the War of the Roses. They replace skinny ties and crack with doublet, hose and songs like ‘Power To The Pixies’ woven deftly from synths, flutes and sea shanties.” - NME.
“With crumhorns, psychedelic guitar solos, squealing vintage synthesisers and songs about burning scarecrows they are by turns preposterous, unsettling, tear-jerkingly beautiful and wonderfully refreshing.” –Guardian
Tonight the Purr favourites, Ye Hotte Puppyes (aka The Hot Puppies), will be performing a specially-prepared thematically-inclined set of tunes. Cool and slightly quirky boy/girl punk pop from Cardiff, their style radiates energy and their songs are executed with equal measures of sugar and spite. The band cite Devo, Add N to (X) and early Blondie as influences.
“Sharp pop – a combination of Blondie’s punk kitsch and the Shirelles’s harmonic lift.” – The Observer
Plus psych/medieval/folk/prog/Christmas-themed DJing courtesy of The World Famous Purr DJs & King Arthur’s Court Dance-floor Shapes Thrown By The elegantly fabulous Panther Girls.
