Six-piece indie folk band using folk art and film to enhance their performance
Doors 7pm
Tapir! is a 6-piece indie folk band from London.
Known for their blending of folk music with genres such as post-punk and art pop, their first album, The Pilgrim, Their God and the King of My Decrepit Mountain, was released on 26 January 2024.
The band formed in 2019, releasing their first single, My God, in 2022. They have played live shows and festivals, opening concerts for artists such as Ian Sweet and Explosions in the Sky. Their musical style has been compared to folk art and is described as "intricate and thorough" indie folk, with many aspects of their music being inspired by biblical, mythical, and literary sources.
Employing the use of paintings, set design, soundscapes, costumes and short films in their live shows, Tapir! invite the viewer into their exciting and mysterious world. Set in a fictional universe of green hills, choppy seas and red creatures, Tapir! tell the story of the Pilgrim, a creature embarking to unearth the lands history, meeting all sorts of strange characters along the way.
Inspired by the story-telling theatrics of Harry Nilsson, Randy Newman and Spelling, Tapir!'s tender songcraft glistens with folkish charm and ambrosial melodia - whilst twiddling guitars, drum-machines and vocal flights flutter your heartstrings all the merry while.
All ages welcome
