ABDOUJAPAROV (Ex Carter USM) – 7:30pm, Sat 15th March, Bedford Esquires
Pleased to announce a new show with ABDOUJAPAROV (Ex Carter USM) on Sat 15th March
Formed by Les Carter (aka Fruitbat) in 1998 after the breakup of Carter USM, Abdoujaparov are named after a former Tour De France cyclist. The band’s musical foundations are the joyous and shambolic influences of 1977 Punk Rock & New Wave, but there is so much more than that under the covers. Eight EPs, four singles and six albums have been released on Spinach Records.
The band has toured worldwide, racking up over 600 gigs, from tiny clubs to big festivals.
2020 saw the release of two limited release lock-down singles ‘We’re All Gonna Die’ and ‘A Trip Of A Lifetime’. Both sold out within 24 hours.
2021 Saw the sixth album ‘Race Home Grow Love’ released .
2022 saw the 20th Anniversary of our first studio album ‘Air Odeon Disco Pub’. We celebrated at a sold-out gig at London’s 100 Club, playing the album in its’ entirety for the first time.
2025 is going to be a busy one. Both a Spring and Autumn tour are booked and we have some sweet festivals spots coming up in the summer.
That’s just the boring factual stuff, come and see us, you will LOVE it.
“Watching Abdoujaparov live is the closest I’ll ever get to seeing Carter. Love them.” – Jim Bob
