- Vivid Attractions Bookings

 

"9/10...Captain Jack Sparrow only with a little more drunkenness and insanity, and there is a distinct feeling of Oliver Twist and Sweeney Todd about this album. Poverty turned into poetry."

- Full Blast Music Reviews

"The Howl Of The Underclasses is not all what I was expecting and I was very pleasantly surprised and they are now at the top of my list of bands to catch live." 

- album review by London Celtic Punks

https://wp.me/p3Huvn-3nJ

 

"The Filthy Spectacula, a pirate-meets-steampunk themed folk band, were playing to a pretty large audience all things considered... The five-piece, which consisted of an accordion player and a violinist alongside guitar, bass and drums, were doing a fine job of getting the party started and encouraging folk to dance. Visually the band were definitely a spectacle...but still good fun."

- Review on Colin's Punk Rock World

 

"I'm hallucinogenically drunk after listening to that!"

- Adam Walton live on BBC Radio Wales after playing our song The Dirty Dog

Who Are We?

The story of The Filthy Spectacula began on a dark and stormy night in late 2014.  A group of vagabond strangers met up in a rehearsal studio for the first time to swap stories, drink absinthe and clang out something resembling music.  They were on to something and took to travelling around and making new stories together. Some got left at various points along the way, but other riff-raff were eagerly waiting in the shadows to join this travelling circus. 

Together this crew has exhorted a club full of maniacs in bondage gear to Cossack dance; they have thrilled and terrified Victorian music halls filled with Steampunks;  they have had cheese thrown at them in the West Country and been asked by Ed Milliband to "turn it down please" and yet nothing can slow down this marauding crew of lyrical lunatics.  

With their debut full length album released in 2016 they followed up with recordings for the second full length album in early 2019 and continue to assault the UK with their absinthe soaked antics.  

The Filthy Spectacula are:  Mr E (guitar, vocals and abuse), The Blacksmith (accordion and scowling), Shady H (bass, backing vocals and alchemy), Mis-Tea (violin, backing vocals and acrobatics) and a new barrel-banger still to be revealed.
