Ideal Surreal Presents
Post War Glamour Girls Peach Club Marla Violet Kicks
The Owl Sanctuary Thursday 18th May £4adv/£5door
Leeds’ much loved post-punk quartet Post War Glamour Girls have recently announced details of their third album ‘Swan Songs’ which will be released on Hide & Seek Records on the 17th of April, and the quartet will be joining us at the Owl Sanctuary on Thursday 18th May as part of their Spring tour. ‘Swan Songs’, the follow up to 2015’s acclaimed ‘Feeling Strange’ and their outstanding debut album, 2014’s ‘Pink Fur’ is musically reminiscent of The Pixies and Wild Beasts with the dual vocals of James and Alice evocative of Mark E. Smith trading off against Kim Gordon.
Supporting are local Riot-Grrrls Peach Club, who are making their second Ideal Surreal performance. Their previous support of Skinny Girl Diet at our not that famous riot grrrl riot. Bikini Kill and Hole fans will enjoy these four sit-down-wee-ers and their Punk Rock Pop Songs. One of the best fine city bands of recent times.
Garage noise pop rockers Marla are second of four. Another of the excellent new Norwich groups of sprung up over the past couple of years. We've booked them before, we'll book them again, because they're great!
And finally we have Violet Kicks who will be making their Ideal debut. Flamboyant frontwoman Jessie Q is a little like Lena Lovich and Siouxsie Sioux. Featuring former members of Claws and Box Of Light, this is new wave indie pop at it's finest.
Entry is £4adv/£5door, we start at 19:30.
Line Up
Having won themselves a huge reputation over the past year following the release of their acclaimed and outstanding album ‘Pink Fur’, Post War Glamour Girls have returned this winter with the release of second album 'Feeling Strange'. Recalling the likes of The Pixies and Wild Beasts with vocals evocative of Nick Cave crossed with Mark E Smith (if they had hailed from Yorkshire), the four-piece from Leeds have continued to showcase an innate knack for creating intricately layered and intelligent compositions with a theatrical edge. And while the mainstream has noticed, with the band receiving heavy support from Clash Magazine, DIY, The 405, The Line Of Best Fit, and being invited to perform on the NME/BBC Radio 1 stages at the Reading and Leeds festivals, it’s the incredible amount of underground fan-driven support that has marked Post War Glamour Girls out as a major band to watch.
