Our own Lord Harold, beloved drummist and booze aficionado speaks about our debut album, Thrup'ny Upright, available May 28th.
Welcome to The Filthy Spectacula!
UK based band playing a carnival of gypsy punk, dark cabaret, goth, and steampunk with a touch of ska and pirate shanties, mix with some dark, add more dark and you are almost there.

Cast a glim ahead
Lock up your daughters, your drinks cabinets and your heirlooms ... The Filthy crew will be back in 2016, and more insidious and troublesome than ever!
January will see the foundations being laid of an even more imposing permanent monument to our long dead humanity. Yes, you guessed, the full-length Filthy album is in the offing and will be just as debauched, unignorable and roughshod as anyone would expect. Hold onto your hats for us unleashing that on an unprepared world later in the year. Yes, I know…

The Big Malarkey - Cancelled
Due to some unfortunate circumstances, The Big Malarkey festival has been cancelled. This is a real shame as a lot of talented wonderful people worked very hard to put it together. We of The Filthy Spectacula were looking forward to playing, seeing some other wonderful bands and experiencing all the festival had to offer. If you have purchased tickets, please contact the organizers to receive a refund. https://www.facebook.com/events/876802082348106/

There are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt in your philosophy, your science or your agnosticism, regardless of whether your name be Horatio.
Doubtless you think the Japanese and Gallifreyan fables of curses transmitted by magic-lantern recordings, ghosts that spill from projection screens, images that take on the terrible powers of the monsters they represent - you think these mere tales for the children? The arrogance of the sceptic!
I tell you in all seriousness, you should prepare. Prepare…Read more

Set sail for the Side of Mersey
It might be our furthest cruise to date. The prow may or may not be currently pointed almost due north. It is rumoured we are among five gangs of shanty-chanters to be unleashed upon the Scouse mobs.
The question to which we all eagerly await an answer is:
Do the northern monkeys live up to their reputation and their braggadocio? Are they hard-drinking, hard-dancing, hard-singalonging, hard-debauching, hard-swearing enough to flock to us like gulls to a boatful of corpses? And when they get there, will they…Read more
