On bass guitar, our distant cousin from Southern California, Abraham Chavrin-Wattinger. As a barber-surgeon, he’s not unfamiliar with the arrangements of human body parts.

Shortly afterwards, we drifted back indoors to see the Wattingers, and as a stylistic leap from the previous act, they did not disappoint. Describing themselves as ‘slaughterhouse steampunk blues’, as bizarre as that might sound, it actually perfectly describes them in a way which you’d have to watch and hear them to fully understand. Combining a country/folky sound with a distinctly theatrical, old school horror movie tone, they put on a mesmerising, energetic and mildly disturbing performance which had the crowd engaged and moving throughout. Certainly a complete show and a genre unto themselves.
