Party: ★ BUFFOS WAKE (UK)

Spooky Gypsy Horror Punk - Storming Gypsy folk music, dark and twisting melodies and intense breaks makes Buffos Wake head and shoulders above your usual gypsy fair, so pack up the caravan Mama, we’re headin’ to the hills!

Carnivalesque stomping folk music with a macabre edge and gypsy twinges. Dark twisting melodies, maudlin lyrics and intense breaks give this new band, who debuted in Brighton last Hallow’een, their ethereal power.
Sounds Like: the gate has swung shut behind you at the abandoned fairground.
-Playgroup Festival 2011

You may recall a desolate band of misfits in Tim Burton’s Nightmare Before Chirstmas that popped up every now and then with musical interludes of damp and haunting melodies that were, in their own way, quite captivating.
Well Buffo’s Wake’ have a very similar allure; that is intriguing violins and erratic accordions, both utterly besmirched with wonderfully gloomy undertones and lingering vocals.
The band describe themselves as Spooky gypsy horror folk, which in a way sums them up. Expect a Carnivalesque – Halloween come early – set of melancholy fun times.
