Carla Bozulich & the Polly Shang Kuan Band

Event information

Best known as the singer in the now sadly defunct Geraldine Fibbers, Carla Bozulich is a startlingly unique artist. Her current musical project began in 2006 with release of her album 'Evangalista' on Montreal based Constellation Records. Recorded by Silver Mt Zion’s Efrim Menuck, 'Evangalista' was at once brutally raw and weirdly visionary and went on to be included in the Wire’s best albums of 2006.

Returning in 2008 with her core co-conspirators, Tara Barnes and Shahzad Ismaily, Carla rechristened her band Evangalista and set about recording her new album 'Hello, Voyager' which was released in March 2008 by Constellation. Its beautifully ravaged and semi improvised soundscapes continue Carla’s unique musical trajectory and mark her out as a truly outstanding artist.

The Polly Shang Kuan Band is Karen Constance’s (Smack Music 7/Blood Stereo) ever changing group of feral female outsiders. Karen refers to the style as glamtronics – an amazing, elegant and stately mess of broken glass and serrated noise.
