BOSSMAGS TURN 10!!

* 18+ *

BOSSMAGS return to Liverpool celebrating 10 years of piratey cabaretcore punk antics joined by a host of some of the best Punk Ska bands the UK has to offer, entertainers, the best vegan scran all day and even a puppet show.

BOSSMAGS
Celebrating 10 years of BOSSMAGS

A madcap, high octane, boundless entanglement of dramatic, phantasmagorical and festival-ready punk rock cabaretcore swirled around with lively, upbeat, jazzy and heavy flavours like ska, metal, 20’s swing, dub, rockabilly, driving dance music and spacey occult rock complete with a brass section, synths, plenty pedals, props, ghost storytelling and a dash of comedy, circus, horror, witchcraft and theatrical pirate energy. Sure, you’ve seen these genres together before, but there’s no band like BOSSMAGS. Their own CURIO PUNK is derived from their theatrical experimentations with genres and themes to create what is effectively a curio cabinet of a repertoire, and the band is very much punk rock in roots, attitude, energy and ethos.

The band has been described as everything from "swing pirate jazzcore" (Dying Scene) to "Piratical flavoured visual and ska meets punk meets techno meets prog entire festival in a band sound" (The Last Stop Sounds) to "Like a Pirate obsessed, horror-loving concoction of NOFX, Misfits and the Dead Kennedy’s if they had formed some sort of super group that to an extent at least, ended up a warped Ska-Punk project that also had a penchant for Jazz.” (Musically Fresh)

“It’s spectacular, the creativity, the artistry and the musical originality that this band exudes. The sound is very high vibrational, up tempo, dance making and super feel good. The combination of jazz, mixed with the ska pace and the wildness of the punk with all the added unbridled energy has just blown this set so far out of the water. It’s been wild, it’s been anarchic (although completely controlled) and really something extra special to have witnessed.” (New Sound Generation).

"Quite possibly the most bizarre live act I’ve ever seen. I don’t really know how to put it into words but I do know it was a lot of fun, even if I didn’t have a clue what was happening most of the time.” (Colin's Punk Rock World)

Based in the UK, they have steered their swashbuckling show to a variety of different stages all over the UK and Europe. Transdimensional reptilian shapeshifters, cult-worshipping machines, meddlesome crows and spectral pirate soul snatchers are but a few of the cautionary tales ranging from the witchy to the downright politically disdainful you’ll be ensnared by. You may laugh, you may cry, you may need an exorcism, but you’ll possibly have a good time.
