Garlic bread? Cheesey chips? Comedy rock? These are combinations that shouldn't work, but, fortunately Dead Cat Bounce proved that this premise can work if you are talented musicians and wordsmiths. Oddly enough, though, the evening wouldn't have been such a success but for excellent sound. Clever and funny lyrics are pointless unless you hear them all and the sound crew ensured this was not a problem.
All three musicians possess the rock god status many of us aspire to but few achieve. This was our third show of this year's festival and they had the disadvantage of following Pappy's Last Show Ever ( 5 stars) but after their opening number "Border Control" we realised we were in surreal yet funny territory. The songs were often laugh out loud funny ( an increasingly rare talent) and impressively the link between songs were just as amusing.
As each year passes I feel the music aspect of the festival weakens but "Dead Cat Bounce" helps to rectify the balance. If you like the music and laughing, go. "Howl Of The She-Leopard" is truly a two for one show.
