Plastic Jeezus have delivered an absolute gift of a Christmas EP to finish this terrible year in style . We were fortunate enough to play our last proper gig before lockdown with them at the Bracklesham ukulele weekend on the Isle of Wight in March .
They are undoubtedly one of the most entertaining bands you will ever see , with absorbing well constructed and humorous songs which kept us laughing long after they had stopped playing.
Introducing 'Utter Baubles ' : contents - four extremely original festive offerings with a PG (ish) rating , performed on multiple instruments. *
Opening with 'The Office Christmas Party ' -even if you have never worked in an office, or indeed been to a party , you will be left with no uncertainty about the possible scenarios you could encounter.
'Finally Feeling Festive' - despite himself Ken finds some reasons to be cheerful about the season.
'Merry Christmas to my Cat ' - penned by Aaron , painting a picture of the most purrfect Christmas Day ever ; this Pythonesque ear worm has not left my head all week. Listen at your peril.
'The Holby and the IV ' - In true 'Casualty' style the accidents waiting to happen line up before us , and the surreal experience of hospital at Christmas unfolds.
Utter Baubles itself is certainly due to be a regular feature of Christmas parties (when we can have them again ) , and perfect for singing along to , because "when you are p....d you can't resist a fun filled festive song " . Utter Baubles ? Utter Genius more like.
Utter Baubles is available on all major streaming platforms as a four-track E.P. When purchased at the Plastic Jeezus Bandcamp as a download or a hand made CD , there is the bonus of a special cover version of “Merry Christmas Everyone” (Shakin’ Stevens) featuring some top notch drum programming by Simon, as well as numerous other 'Shakey ' things ( his pun not mine ! )
