Wasps Vs Humans Vs Chunky Planet
KICKING OFF their live calendar for 2010, CHUNKY PLANET
in collaboration with Performance punk poetry from Wasps
vs Humans play a series of live dates across the country.
The show promises a mash up of music and spoken word and
is not recommended for the easily offended...
WASPS vs HUMANS, usually a one man performance poetry
project takes on a commentary based style observing snap
shots of life; political and humorous, his take on the
world is delivered with a growl and a smile.
Originally a playwright, the man behind Wasps vs Humans
has written plays for theatre, all produced, including
a UK national tour and taking in the Brighton International
Arts Festival. Musically, he released an L.P and Single
with UK based 80s avant garde/experimental band, 4,000,000
Telephones, with a tour in Germany, previously gaining
interest from national UK press and radio 1, including
John Peel.
In 2009 Wasps vs Humans made his debut at Cork’s
midsummer’s festival and has since performed around
Ireland and more recently spotted performing Dublin’s
sugar Club with Jinx Lennon, Christy Moore and Captain
Moonlight.
CHUNKY PLANET continue to promote their recently released
E.P, ‘Walking in my Shoe’s which received HOTPress
pick of the fortnight back in October as well as earning
them national airplay and rave reviews.
A husband and wife collaboration, Chunky Planet’s
commentary style lyrics and alternative indie/folk sound
is no recipe for nostalgic love songs. A ‘tell it
how you see it’ approach, they switch from the sweet
to the absurd, always bringing a certain edge and rawness
to their music.
The EP is out now and is available at Road Records in
Dublin, as well by download through most major digital
sites including iTunes, Napster, Rhapsody and downloadmusic.ie.
The E.P can also be ordered direct from the band’s
website www.chunkyplanet.com
“Chunky Planet make it work because they think and
play outside the box”
(HOTPress) October 2009
“Gripping Rhythms coupled with some wonderfully punchy
vocals...like any good E.P it has the listener wanting
more.”
(Limerick Event Guide) November 2009
“Get onboard now, before they become too popular
to be cool”
(Cork Evening Echo)
“Cork’s most likely candidates for better things”
