Es klingt verrückt: ein 9-Personen-Orchester mit Bläsern, Theremin, Beatboxing, DJ, einem Tänzer und einer großen Sammlung von Spielzeugen und Kochtöpfen dazu auf der Bühne?!? Misty's Big Adventure (Birmingham) ist die Neuentdeckung des Jahres aus England. Orchestraler Weirdo-P!o!p!, bei dem die Sgt.-Pepper- Beatles, Adam Green, Polyphonic Spree, Madness, Mr. Scruffs Ninja Tunes und Badly Drawn Boy Pate gestanden haben müssen. "Melodies to die for" und schwarzer Humor, der so auch von Monty Python stammen könnte. Produziert und aufgenommen wurde ihr neues Album von Brian O'Shaughnessy (Primal Scream, My Bloody Valentine)."The Polyphonic Spree jamming with The Flaming Lips" sagt man in England, wenn man von den Misty's spricht. Oder man vergleicht sie mit einer modernen Version von "Sly and the family stone" gemischt mit der "Muppets Show" - letzteres trifft auf jeden Fall die Livepräsentation der Band. M sty's Frontman Grandmaster Gareth wurde von John Peel "the new god" genannt. Er arrangierte die Streicher und Bläsersätze für "Bentley Rythm Ace", "Broadcast" und "Pram" und produzierte das neue Album des New Yorker Anti-Folk-Helden "Jeffrey Lewis".

A glorious 8 piece band from Birmingham in the UK, made up of brothers and sisters and twins and saxophones and trumpets and cute, weird dancers who produce the most uplifting, life affirming tunes you will hear since Louie Armstrong played with the Lovin Spoonful. Dave from The Zutons loves them, so much so that he invited them on tour, twice and we were invited to support The Magic Numbers, The Guillemots and The Pipettes last year.
Their music is an eclectic mix of jazz, lounge, psychedelia, two tone, pop and punk. A long time fixture on the Birmingham experimental music scene, Grandmaster Gareth formed the band in 1996 with his friend Sam Minnear. The name was taken from a story in the 1968 children's book The Magic Roundabout Annual about a kitten, Misty, who meets a dog and they become friends. Misty's songs typically consist of Grandmaster Gareth singing in a deadpan, maudlin style accompanied by lively guitar, keyboards and brass players. They occasionally include samples and toy instruments in their songs. Contrasting with Gareth's dour lounge-singer act is the dancer Erotic Volvo. Dressed in a loose full-body red sack with numerous stuffed blue gloves attached, and his face painted blue, he dances continuously and in an exhaustingly frenetic manner, often moving around the audience. He occasionally also performs as a human beat box. All members of the band are trained musicians, and are predominantly based in the Moseley suburb of Birmingham. The band's spiritual home is the Jug of Ale venue in Moseley, where they play regularly. Throughout 2005 they have toured extensively around the UK with forays into Europe, and support slots for The Zutons and The Magic Numbers.
