EVENT INFORMATION
Magic Teapot presents
The Handsome Family
Words that in their everyday surrealism have no parallel in contemporary writing...Music that mines the deep veins of fatalism in the Appalachian voice —GREIL MARCUS
As songwriters it's the eerie, ancestral voice of ‘Anonymous’ they ultimately resemble the most —THE CHICAGO READER
This is music that moves forward by turning the clock back— haunting, primal and strangely heroic —THE LONDON TIMES
Where others retrace well-trodden paths and humdrum traditions,
The Handsome Family go off-road to hunt down phantoms, to update forgotten myths and ancient black jokes —UNCUT
Dark, elemental, mischievous and mournful —MOJO
The Handsome Family - as funny as fuck, as sweet as love, and as serious as death—UNCUT
Each song is like an abridged Flannery O'Connor story read aloud by Johnny Cash, hovering somewhere between the metaphysical and the mundane —NME
Some of the greatest songs in the world in the past few years have been written by The Handsome Family —St. Louis Riverfront Times Brett and Rennie Sparks live in a mysterious rural underworld filled with chilling tales and exhilarating harmonies —CMJ
