Singin' Int' Rain

Loneliness

Comprised of myriad members of the city's finest jazz, folk, gypsy, avant-noise, prog, pop and rock bands, Harlequin Dynamite Marching Band serve up a quixotic mix of cacophonous, euphoric klezmer and downright dirty head bopping beats. Free-jazz brass squeals fuse with heart-wrenching siren vocals and intricate rhythms to create a loose, riotous sound underpinned with leg-swingingly pleasurable grooves. As could be expected from a band which encapsulates a melting pot of Liverpool talent, this nomadic troupe of rough and ready musical magpies offer an incendiary collision of genres which is part New Orleans Dixie ensemble, part street-punk riot, part Yorkshire Tea advert.

In May this year, the band put out their first single 'Jonah', (with accompanying animated video) earning airplay on various radio stations including BBC 6Music. They then hit the festival circuit, taking their infectious sound to a host of the UK's premiere summer festivals – Latitude, Croissant Neuf, Festival No.6 and Beacons to name a few (Q magazine noticed one impromptu set and put it in their top 20 acts of the festival).  The melodious collective have also been regularly hopping on stage with best mates and fellow Liverpool stars Stealing Sheep, with plans to tour Europe in support of the hypno-pop princesses currently in the pipeline.

They are now getting ready for the release of the second single, 'Loneliness', which will be put out as a download single through Kazimier Records on December 1st.
