Leftfield pop promoters THIS IS THE ONE THING WE DIDN'T WANT TO HAPPEN persist in their Sisyphean mission to bring the weirdest, wonkiest pop acts from across the country together and stick them in a room together just to see what happens. For this simply delectable instalment, we are joined by:
PETER CAT
A full band outing for Glasgow's suavest coat stands, who have recently discovered that everything looks better in velvet and sounds better in the minor seventh. Fresh off of 2022 EP 'The Magus', singles from which received steady airplay on BBC Scotland, 6Music and Amazing Radio, Peter Cat are hitting the road for a select run of UK dates in October. The band will be road-testing a selection of new material from forthcoming records in addition to performing old favourites from 'The Magus' and debut LP, 'The Saccharine Underground'.
FFO: Pulp, Sparks, The Divine Comedy, John Grant, Gus Dapperton.
"Ten minutes ago I was laughing, five minutes ago I was crying...it's pulled together with great panache and sounds quite unlike anything else I can put my finger on right now" I Said Yeah
"A jaunty trip through the familiarly twinned emotions of admiration and envy...sung at such a speed and with hardly a pause for breath that's reminiscent of early Scott Walker" The Morning Star
"Irreverent and smart pop music in the mold of Neil Hannon, Jarvis Cocker, Luke Haines and a sprinkling of Scott Walker...Peter Cat casts a wry eye over the world, and is moved to make music to match" Scots Whay Hae!
GEFAHRGEIST
With captivating vocals and beautifully layered production, Gefahrgeist emerged in 2020 to great acclaim. The electronic duo first crossed paths studying Popular Music at Edinburgh Napier University, but only really got to know each other on joining function band The Apollos.
Fiona told me: "Niall would often stick on beats he was writing on long drives to gigs.
"I'd offer to sing on them only to be told 'No' several times!
"It was only when I sent him a vocal demo of what I was thinking for one of the tracks that he agreed to form Gefahrgeist with me."
FFO: Massive Attack, Kate Bush, Moby
