BAD HEDGE featuring Hot Head Show, Perhaps Contraption, The Display Team (31/03/12)
The Display Team welcomes you to their second “Bad Hedge” night, our own attempt to bring together some of the foremost of those who like to dabble in the dangerous spice of musical experimentation, producing potent cocktails which defy genre classification and stun palates into submission.
It is with the auspice of this occasion that we are very excited to bring to you the amazing HOT HEAD SHOW! These boys have been hopping state-side, as well as Euro-jaunting (supporting none other than the mighty Primus) and now bring their very own brand of energy-fuelled, wonky, prog-funk (alright, I’m running out of seemingly meaningless adjectives) to The Miller. See their wares here for added familiarity:

But the awesomeness doesn’t stop there, oh no. Further to this, we will have the wonderful PERHAPS CONTRAPTION, who, in their own words, are “an ever-evolving, genre bridging musical performance collective. An astonishing 8 piece, twisted brass, art pop, marching band”. A bold mission statement, and one that is met by their prowess – find them here:

And, of course, the resident Bad Hedge prog-punkers (pronkers, for those time-poor folks for whom brevity is key), THE DISPLAY TEAM, will be making an appearance as openers, to get the juices flowing, as all good starters should:

This night is for fans of absolutely everything, especially if you like your music jaunty and your topiary askew.
Ta for now.
