Kuntford and Sons

Kuntford and Sons play The Craufurd Arms in Wolverton on Friday 11 December, from 7:30 PM to 11:30 PM. If the name sounds familiar but doesn't quite ring a bell, it's because they're the acoustic alter-ego of Kunt and the Gang, the dark comedy synthpop project. The two share the same songs, but the approach couldn't be more different.

Under the Kuntford and Sons name, the songs are stripped right back to their filthy bones and then built up again, played on ukuleles for a night of inappropriate fun and sing-alongs. It's the same material as the synthpop version, just stripped of the electronics and played on small strings instead. The band describes it as a night of inappropriate fun, and the sing-alongs are a big part of the thing.

It's a rare outing for this side of the project. They've only played under the Kuntford and Sons name twice before — at Bloodstock and Download festivals a few years back — and they haven't been invited back since. This show is one date in an eight-date seasonal tour, so it's one of only a handful of times they'll be doing this over the winter.

If you're in Milton Keynes and fancy a night of ukuleles and dark comedy, the gig is at The Craufurd Arms in Wolverton (MK12 5LT) on Friday 11 December, running from 7:30 PM to 11:30 PM.
