The Freakshow

The Freakshow, as described by Ewan Bissell

With a set of fairy wings on each of their shoulders everyone’s favourite
girlies took to the stage late in the evening. Their EP launched earlier
that day – The Freakshow Vol, 1.

Its cover art features each member cocooned in their own little bubbles,
an image that almost betrays the sense of community and collectivism that
they instil in their music and their audience. Still it makes a point of
how they’ve brought each of their powerful individual stories to the
group, and together made something far more than a sum of their parts.

Their musical palate is all round such a modern, forward thinking punk
interpretation of folk and Americana music that manifests as one part
outrageous, fast and loose confrontation, and one part tender, joyous
melancholia. If St. Trinians had a band, it would probably look a bit
like this.

It all became so clear – no matter their traditions or their background
they carry with them such an infectious collectivist spirit. Sometimes it
even goes past that, they feel like they are a family, welcoming to all
and utterly acceptant. That is what The Freakshow is all about.
