Description
“Freaks, Fools and Ghouls” the third album from Sheelanagig is a live album recorded over two gigs manic gigs in Bristol. It contains 6 heavily re-worked pieces from the band's 2 studio albums, alongside 3 new tunes and a warp-speed take of “Medley”, their traditional opening number. Two of the new tunes (“The Rabbi's Daughter” and “Muddy Thighs”) are complex and highly technical, comprising many different sections and rhythmic variations, while “Garage Food”, a gonzoid slab of punk swing was the heaviest thing they had ever produced. “Freaks, Fools and Ghouls” was conceived as a way to document Sheelanagig's evolution, and more importantly to have a CD to sell which was a more accurate reflection of their current live show.
