Snapped Ankles + Guests
7:30pm, Weds 5th March, Bedford Esquires
We are very pleased to announce the debut show at Bedford Esquires of Post Punk, Performance and Art Rockers Snapped Ankles.
Signing to the Leaf Record label in 2017 the band have released four albums, two EPs and numerous singles to date. The band members’ identities are unknown, due to the fact that the group performs in Ghillie Suits, but they claim to be “forest folk…descended from the trees
Now settled in fertile east London, Snapped Ankles maintain the feral energy of the forest. Fight or flight. Primal motorik rhythms, the rush of white noise and post-punk angles; an aural onslaught played out on homemade log synths, electrified guitars and sticks beating hell on taut animal skin.
Snapped Ankles have flourished in the sub-tropical climes of warehouse and squat parties, moving onto performance art collaborations with filmmakers and shows in unlikely locations such as barber shops, games arcades and the forests they once called home. They plough a singular furrow at improbable angles. The woodwose have discovered electricity and they’re not afraid to use it.
Tickets priced £15 are on sale from Seetickets and the local outlets of Esquires Bar and Slide Record Shop.
