A nightmarish cabaret steeped in the surreal, this European based collective makes captivating and eccentric music about inside-out cats, hedgehog swallowers and devious doctors.<br><br>Having existed primarily as a live entity since 2017, the Travelling Freakshow toured Europe extensively with their extremely unique live show which incorporates immersive performance art, audience participation and a litany of bizarre and beguiling costumes and masks depicting the characters in the songs. The group\u2019s visual chaos is underpinned by Monsieur Pompier\u2019s manic music and storytelling approach to songwriting.\u00a0<br><br>Recently, the band partnered with US indie label Cleopatra Records to launch their debut album\u00a0<em>Teatime Terrors<\/em>\u00a0July 16. Across the ten tracks of\u00a0<em>Teatime Terrors<\/em>\u00a0we are introduced to a different character on each song. The album opens with \u201cBanana Boy,\u201d a song about an unruly scamp who grows a banana in place of his fingers every time that he does something naughty. This is followed by \u201cThe Crabbit,\u201d whose titular character, a half crab, half rabbit hybrid appears when a person succumbs to alcoholism. The album\u2019s lead single, \u201cThe Ear Fairy,\u201d is the tale of a sinister fiend who visits each and every one of us at night, cleaning out our ears and vanishing from sight. He then takes the ear wax home contained in a jar and gradually builds up a sculpture bizarre. This whirling waltz is accompanied by a mesmerizing video directed by Stefan Evans and filmed in a mysterious log cabin deep in the Irish countryside.<br><br><strong>Watch \u201cThe Ear Fairy\u201d video:<\/strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/JDViCG3tE8s\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/JDViCG3tE8s<\/a><br><strong>Stream\/download the single:<\/strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/orcd.co\/xqpbobp\">https:\/\/orcd.co\/xqpbobp<\/a><br><strong>Pre-order\/pre-save the album:<\/strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/orcd.co\/9d75gaq\">https:\/\/orcd.co\/9d75gaq<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Track List:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Banana Boy<\/li><li>The Crabbit<\/li><li>The Ear Fairy<\/li><li>Guts The Cat<\/li><li>The Hedgehog Swallower<\/li><li>Micky Mould<\/li><li>Doctor Moogie<\/li><li>Pillowman<\/li><li>Willy Wet Pockets<\/li><li>Sally Shortcake<\/li><\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Monsieur Pompier\u2019s Travelling Freakshow is a musical act like no other.
