A Qu Junktions Triple Shot presents...

Wildbirds & Peacedrums

Here come one of the bands of the summer WILDBIRDS AND PEACEDRUMS, even the name brings to mind spiritually uplifting, erotic and exotic imagery, sounds and feelings. They certainly generate that in their performances. They are simmering in fine fine fashion at the moment, so catch them close and intimate at The Cube with fine fine support acts and DJs. After a summer break this is the first Qu Junktions show of the late summer season.

Wildbirds and Peacedrums...such a lot from the bare essentials. These two are the forbidden fruit laid bare for us to admire....too good to believe. Wildbirds & Peacedrums create hot, exotic songs with a haunting sense of the blues, freeform soul and a loose-limbed percussive edge that seers them way clear of the bland. The pair's stripped down, tantalising primal show left audience agog at Venn 08 and are on real roll. They are duo from Sweden, who got signed to Leaf and now traverse the world singing sweet and raw. The songs are imbued with a sense of scatter-jazz, Scandinavian pop and widescreen dynamics. Nina Simone certianly gets channelled, as does the energy of jazz gospel, some one man marching band dynamics and some good tunes + they look good in technicolour.

support from Peter Broderick + Silver Pyre

Peter Broderick is a young and gifted multi-instrumentalist from Portland who plays in the Dutch ensemble Efterklang. Solo he captivates with hush hush instrumentals and cinematic lushness. He releases on Type and comes highly reccomended.

Recently relocating to Bristol, Silver Pyre forges a sound from the depths of his native rural Somerset. Blending richly crackling textures with yearning vocals, his music echoes its rugged coastline, legendary free parties and the oppressive pulse of the nuclear power
station.
