The Rude Mechanicals often get compared to The Birthday Party/Nick Cave, Tom Waits, Captain Beefheart, Frank Zappa, The Tigerlilies, early Roxy and Syd Barrett. Their style has been called Post-Punk, Swamp Blues, Dark Cabaret with the word psychedelic often thrown in. We particularly liked a recent suggestion - Psycho Cabaret.

They create a sound that Tom Robinson describes as “wild, wicked weirdness... a little bit Flying Lizards, a little bit Native Hipsters and a great deal like nothing you've heard before..." (Tom Robinson BBC6 Music).

You'll get discounts - for gigs, product and merch, and advance notice of goodies coming up including first sight of new videos and first hearing of new songs. You also get an exclusive hotline to the band!
