Gruff vocalist Andrew Plummer revels and writhes in the macabre as he heads this seven-piece ensemble through the murk and mire for a vaudevillian romp with barks, grunts, wails and shrieks to set your hairs on end. Propelled by demented carny and swing rhythms, Plummer's bruised, gruff vocals and darkly-enthralling lyrics are enveloped in a tide of swirling tones and textures, with the constant threat of breaking into waves of cacophany. A style akin to the likes of Waits or Cave at their most surreal and bloodthirsty backed by the austere configurations of Scelsci, Messiaen or Zorn and featuring top notch players and Leeds chaps Dave Kane, Chris Sharkey and award-winning mega-pianist Matt Bourne alongside them Londoners James Allsop, Alex Bonney, and Tom Greenhalgh; World Sanguine Report is a fantastically warped waltz into the dark on the most upsetting episode of 'Strictly Come Dancing' there has ever been. Lets hope that it rains.
Mucky Sailor:
Seriously perverse skronk-punk madness, thrashed out on drums and keyboard.

Mucky Sailor are a father and son duo who make undesirable pop music via piano, synthesiser, drums and vocals. Over their two-year existence many derisive comments have been made about their terrifyingly unremarkable physiques and amateurish on-stage squabbles. Others have employed comparison and rhetoric to describe them as some kind of cross between a Norwegian black metal band, the BBC Radiophonic workshop, the Butthole Surfers and the indulgent prog of Yes, whilst simultanously being 'toweringly subversive', 'a mangled motorway pile-up of noise', and, in perhaps the most significant example of journalistic magniloquence, as having 'many genuine LOL moments'. They themselves will only personally admit to being heavily influenced by the music of Spyro Gyra
Guns Or Knives:
www.myspace.com/gunsorknives
Guitarist from Shield Your Eyes yelping out shattered songs with intricate but ragged guitar, mandolin and harmonica abuse.
