BODY OF REVERBS

---

Body of Reverbs and Swamp Booking are excited to present a new series of performative actions across Europe in October 2023.

BODY OF REVERBS is a performance piece started by Michele Servadio in 2014. It is a contemporary ritual where tattooing turns into sound.

B.O.R. is not an usual band, it is a site specific audio-visual piece where the body at the centre of the attention gets magnified and manifested, and takes place in peculiar environments, such as deserts, churches, clubs and remote houses.

B.O.R. is a sonified and amplified tattoo. A technique of subjective reconfiguration through pain, sound and a permanent mark on the body.

With Body of Reverbs, tattooing returns to its ritualistic, archaic beginnings, while simultaneously ushering the trade into the world of contemporary art.

The sound of the needle touching the skin gets amplified and enhanced, processed through effects it gets designed and sculpted by the sound artists of the group.

The result is a deeply haunting and layered sound that has transfixed audiences around Europe where it has been refined and perfected into something overwhelmingly immersive.

The group recently released a 7” with Zen Hex, the recording of a session in the Judean Desert.

In 2019 they released a set of 4 flexi discs with Coward Records.

In 2018 they released a 12” LP with Non Piangere Dischi accompanied by a book edited by Galleria Varsi.

Body of Reverbs is: 

• a person presented for the performance

• Brunello as sound artist

• Karl Verboten as video worker

• Servadio as performer/tattooer

• Lupus as anatomist

• Special custom needles, prepared by Caro Ley will be used for our rituals, to leave very peculiar and unique marks.

The Ferret's 2021 Socially Distanced Gig series continues as Preston's genre-spanners GEESE bring “A gleeful ram-raid of 20th Century Popular Music” to The Ferret stage for a headline show - with support from Fleetwood singer-songwriter Harrison Rimmer.

This is a SOCIALLY DISTANCED SEATED SHOW.

Please note: THIS IS THE MATINEE SHOW (from 4pm).

For the Evening show please hit this link: Take me to the Geese Evening Show instead.

GEESE:

“A gleeful ram-raid of 20th Century Popular Music”

Formed around 2015 from the carcasses of various bands from around their native Lancashire, guitarist Matt Gerrard, drummer Chris McKendrick and bassist Lewis Hill call Geese “an experiment in time-travelling genre-fluidity.” Their collective musical background covers everything from Math-rock to retro Hip-Hop, via New Orleans Jazz and big-band RnB, and they’re dipping toes in every aesthetic they can find along the way, trying to distill the ever- elusive “familiar yet new” sounds hiding in-between them.

Their debut EP “Fierce Brosnan” (2016) Gleefully bounds over everything from jittery Gypsy jazz, through swooning 50s pop and bristlingly soulful 60s garage rock. Their 2020 full length album “Something For The Weakened” dabbles in quirky delta blues, jazzy folk, spiky New Wave and Queen-esque ornate prog-pop with seemingly wilful disregard for their audience’s ability to categorise them as one style or another. To further confound this, the band have been known to record and perform songs in-character as their fictional musical “influences,” to bolster their time-travelling shtick.

Support comes from HARRISON RIMMER:

Singer-songwriter hailing from Fleetwood, bringing high energy rock with sprinklings of heart-felt, reflective lyrics and soulful ballads.

Here’s a song off an EP he released last May called “Broken Strings”, this song is called “Proud”...
