A Shrill Chuckle Of Irrepressible Delight

Answered by: Bud Petal

Describe your show in a tweet? Bud Petal’s Wissotzky In The Night single launch. From new album Fabric Cordial. Written in small German towns, cities of the Levant and Sydney’s inner west.

In a fantasy world who would you be the love child of? Joan Baez and Captain Beefheart.

Why did you decide to do Fringe 2014? Bud Petal is launching Wissotzky In The Night, the first single off their third album: Fabric Cordial. The making of Fabric Cordial was a two-year adventure. Written in small German towns, cities of the Levant, and the inner west of Sydney, it sees Bud Petal create a unique blend of sounds and stories that range from Hamburg love songs, to parental longings for the Kibbutz, to the joy of returning home to Sydney. Fabric Cordial will be out in November through Hospital Hill.

Tell us a bit about the creative team working on this project? Bud Petal’s music has been described as “cerebral art-folk”, “the music Lord Byron would be making had he lived in the 21st century and taught himself how to play the guitar”, “what you get if you mix love, politics, and surrealism”, and “the feeling one gets when drowning within a sea of smiles”.
