Bethlehem Casuals at The Peer Hat
February 26, 2023 @ 7:00 pm - 11:30 pm
£6.00Bethlehem Casuals are a jazz/psych/rock sextet based in Manchester. With an eclectic sound that infuses a world of influences, heady grooves and stomping tunes, the Casuals have been dubbed by some as “urban rock styled DIY world music”; but it’s of course open to interpretation. For the uninitiated, they are living proof that six heads are undoubtedly better than one. With their infectiously idiosyncratic compositions, strung-out live shows and, of course, their notably laid-back nature (it’s in the name); the past few years Bethlehem Casuals have been ensnaring growing audiences in their deliriously entertaining cocktail of sounds and wickedly lurid imagination.
Support from: Seas Of Mirth
Seas of Mirth have been stamping their own mark on modern music for the last decade, mixing up styles and genres while also being known for their aquatic twist. The extensive instrument checklist includes xylophone, bouzouki, clav organ, accordion, and theremin (to name a few), joined by a shoal of effects and watery samples. The sonic span widens into areas of psyche, dark funk, jazz, disco, ambient, latin and chime-pop – a far cry away from the galleonic jigs and shanty style vocals that made up their sound of old. Comparisons have been made to the likes of Cardiacs, Stereolab, Talking Heads, Parliament, Animal Collective and Frank Zappa.
