Puddles the Pelican and her five piece band, The Creatures from the Deep
(Tolimeri Keys, Zieniawa Percussion, Prasad Bass, Jamileh Back Up Vocals, Kullen Synth) are a Blood and Guts Concert Odyssey, embracing a politically charged form of queer science fiction to see through the violent present. Puddles, a survivor of the Deep Horizon Oil Spill, is a broken, scrappy, one-eyed bird of a cabaret singer, coming to you live from a cruise ship floating through hell. Welcome to Minus Level 9, the classy shit hole night club in the basement of the ship, where she and her band play one gut wrenching torch song after the next. She sings, squawks, moans and tells stories of love and loss. “Once a glorious bird, now covered in oil, which one of you Bitches has a match!?!”
