The Shrinks are a loose band of
Bristol-based musicians who like to make, share and play music
together whenever they can
manage to
snatch a few hours between all those things that get in the way
of music - like tax returns and laundry.
The music they create is
best
described as a strange looking, yet at the same time, strangely
familiar car that has been welded together
from several other cars; a Pink Cadillac fin here, a psycedelic
Silver Cloud grille there, the driveshaft from a yellow El Camino,
wing
mirrors from a white VW van, a Buick 6 gearbox, a squeaky wheel
from an El Dorado, the diamond studded windshield from an ol’ 55,
the upholstery from a Ford Econoline, the footlight from an Austin
Cambridge and a Pontiac steering wheel, all held together on a
Bristol chassis.
It may be rusty in places and perhaps it doesn’t
get out on the road as often as it should but, when it’s
firing on all cylinders, the rhythmic throb of all the parts working
together
makes it a vehicle that can really move and transport you to some
pretty
unusual places.
Enjoy the ride. |
