Imagine a man in a pink suit, sitting on a box, spluttering Neo-Dickensian rants about being chased by pensioners as he plays a cheap accordion to a band that sound like the Bad Seeds playing The Jungle Book. Or The Specials playing Jacques Brel. Or The Crazy World of Arthur Brown playing Western Swing on Waikiki Beach. Or the Kinks locked in the London Dungeon with a barrel of ale and Thomas De Quincey’s personal stash.
Imagine all these things and more because once you have stepped into the mystical world of Flipron, you had better be ready for one or two surprises.

Misterlee
Misterlee will lullaby and then petrify you. This is not a gig for the feint hearted.
"Misterlee makes a fucking terrifying sound" Tastyzine
Armed with a drumstick in one hand and a microphone in the other: Pinning you to the wall with giant lo-fi beats only to turn on a sixpence and absorb in unsettling almost-silence with lyrical snapshots of the human condition.
Quintessentially English; Misterlee, both individually and severally, profess independence and originality.
"I'm not sure exactly where he's coming from but it's definitely somewhere that Syd Barrett and Captain Beefheart have been; Tom Waits goes there on his holidays and The Beatles drove past there in the later years of their collective trip" Freqzine
