Screaming Parent - The Gates Of Hell
Last Sunday I spent the afternoon in the Bello Bar in Portobello at No Idle Day's " Heaven In The Afternoon" event organised by Young Hearts Run Free. It was a mixture of music, comedy, drama and culinary treats. One of the strangest but most enjoyable performances of the day was from The Dudley Corporation who blasted away the cobwebs with a rousing opening set. If the early hour wasn't strange enough the sight of many of the band members' young kids dancing at the front of the stage in ear protectors added to the surrealness of it.
On the subject of the Dudley Corporation front man Dudley Colley has a new side project called Screaming Parent on which he breaks out his falsetto, drum machine and synths to come over a bit Alexis Taylor. It takes a few listens but it is definitely worth it. Check out 'The Gate of Hell' and 'The Descent' above and below.
