Bearsuit bring screamy art punk to Dog and Partridge

From the The Bolton News, first published Tuesday 28th Aug 2007.

"STOP-start boy-girl cutie-killer six-piece with everything from cinematic waltzes to catchy electro disco and hard punk screaming riot grrl noise," Bearsuit will play the Dog And Partridge on Saturday, September 8.

Described as a mix of Belle and Sebastian, Huggy Bear, and Sonic Youth with electronic twists and turns, and screamy art punk, Bearsuit were a John Peel favourite who played four Radio 1 sessions and scored three Top Five hits in his annual Festiva 50, including the number two slot in the posthumous chart.

"In an era when almost everything is quite like something else, Bearsuit are not quite like anything," Peel said of the band.

They are now signed to Fantastic Plastic records, who kickstarted the careers of bands including The Guillemots, Ash, the Wannadies, the Futureheads and Ikara Colt.

They will be supported by local band Cleetus And The Moonshine.

Admission is £5.
