Quirky 'Freak Show' coming to Dublin pub promises 'psychedelia and surreal circus punk'

An unusual punk show is coming to Fibbers in Dublin next month where audience members can expect to see 'psychedelia and surreal circus punk'. Two Irish punk acts are coming together to put on the performance.

Tongue Bundle and Monsieur Pompier's Travelling Freak Show will be an abnormal show that sees two Irish punk acts taking to the stage for an unforgettable night. The show is described as being a night of 'cosmic rock.'

Tongue Bundle is an Irish funk band that was established in late 2009 and is a septet/octet that achieve a unique sound which could be described as 'an irreverent form of funk, abrasive at times but with a large emphasis on humour; or what they call "papal funk with a jazz arse." '

The band have an eclectic sound that is very different from main stream music. They will be joined on the night by Monsieur Pompier's Travelling Freak Show.

They are also Dublin natives and are a 'costumed troupe of madcap musicians who make songs about inside-out cats, devious doctors and bog witches.' Their debut album entitled 'Teatime Terror' received rave reviews from funk music critics. The group have recently signed to the legendary US music label Cleopatra Records.

The event kicks of at 9pm and is expected to last around three hours. Early bird tickets are €10 and can be bought on eventbrite.
