About

Come and witness a showcase of the finest synth- and non-synth-driven lyrical absurdities from the East and South Ridings. £5.70 (SOLD OUT) £6.74 (advance) £8 (on the door) Bunkerpop: deliver an experimental mash of energy and titivating instrumental & electronic sound with pronouncements. Hailing from Hull, City of Culture, they take their broad influences from such groups as Neu, Holy Fuck and Talking Heads. Bunkerpop live combines these musical charms with the excitement and visual stimuli of a Billy Graham, PFunk or Flaming Lips concert. Cult like worship is encouraged. Bunkerpop are the peoples band.....come join them. Things that others have said: “Imagine if Bertolt Brecht came back from the dead, involved as much as he alienated, and made a kind of quirky Anglicised-version of Krautrock. Unique and brilliant” - Louder Than War Magazine. “A Super-sonic journey, a fantastic and delightful debut” - INFL “Bunkerpop are the ideal soundtrack to the 21st century. Neu meets Chicory Tip” - WHFM BBC Radio Introducing 'Track(s) of the week' (Are You Ready) for Something & Kijk. "Incredible track from Bunkerpop", "Invigorating and Eccentric", " Loveable Oddballs" - Gigwise “Bunkerpop is a startling sonic triumph. Like JG Ballard or Philip K Dick on the dancefloor, it’s a groovy, trance-inducing mix of Krautrock, post-punk funk, mutant disco and electronica with nods to Kraftwerk, Brian Eno, Can, Neu and Talking Heads” - The Cultural Assassin https://www.facebook.com/HullBunkerpop/ ShaSh: pushing the boundaries of empirical knowledge to bestow synthesized Xanthic science-pop upon the masses (yes), Celestial Broc and Bifidus Digestivum amuse themselves by making synth driven science pop for thoughtful Earth-dwellers. Think/Synth/PoP/ShaSh! Things that others have said: “They could be on Stuart Maconie’s Freak Zone” – Lost Greystones drunk “Electronica for the thinking man” - Jimi Merryman “Amazing to see a live act so left-field” – Lost Property, Hatch “The first time I’ve ever enjoyed electronic music” – Rek Law’s dad “They performed an inspired little number about the Fermi Paradox which is worthy of the prize for best song ever written about the universe (sorry Eric)” – Joyzine review https://www.facebook.com/ShaShBaNd/ JIMMY – nom de pax: mysterious and elusive. No written words will suffice - you just have to come and see him to understand. Things that others have said: “I was born at an early age, it hurt everyone I remember…I did some stuff, then did some other stuff, then didn’t do some other other stuff but did do some other other other stuff…now here for now…for no fracking, no WiFi, no arms trade, no government, no money. Close to realising at least the last one. Playing guitar and singing, goddess willing.” – Jimmy himself “Don’t worry because we are heading into a deep dark abyss.” – ST. AMMA
