The Luminaire and Blang presents
SETH OF DUFUS
+ Filthy Pedro and The Intolerable Kidd
+ UM
+ Lou Psyche

Doors 8.00
£6 via WeGotTickets

Headlining the inaugral Lumianire/Blang night is Seth of Dufus - the founder and incomparable lead orchestrator of New York’s jazz pop metal funk easy listening choral psychedelic folk orchestral reggae improv freakshow; Seth Hebert-Faergolzia. Searching for the bag to file the ROIR Records collective into, reviewers often cite Frank Zappa, but that doesn’t account for the soul that is as much a part of their magic as the madness. Dufus are touring as a duo with Seth joined by Erin Riedel - one of the beautiful girls of the Dufus choir - on bass and vocals.
If they were comedy:
The Furry Freak Marx Brothers.
In technicolour.
With 3D surrow-wow-wownd sound.
Main support are
Filthy Pedro and The Intolerable Kidd, now expanded to a duo with Anglesey’s psychedelic historian Simon Parry now joined by Thee Intolerable Kidd on bass and saw. For fans of impenetrable accents, intolerable magnificently moody sidekicks, lo-fi thrills and history lessons from a semi-naked man in a mask.
Comedian:
Krusty The Clown.
Before that we've
Um; music hall techno from Cambridge’s electro-pop absurdist. Humour! Style! Hand-jiving! Furry hats!
If he were a comedian:
Peter Cook.
Opening proceedings is
Lou Psyche. Playing as a duo tonight (with drummer), Lou is a superb songwriter playing skiffle punk heartbreak with razor sharp humour.
If she were a comedienne:
A Cockney Caroline Aherne.
