The Red Lion

Follow

Come party with the happiness inducing Poppy Perezz. This is what coconut umbrella drinks with decorative flowers sound like! The four piece, hailing from Mexico, Trinidad and England make feel-good, sunshine-happy music to heat up our winter nights. Described variously as pinball electro, chirp-hop or even electro-funk-folk pop, one thing’s for certain: you’re unlikely to have heard anything quite like it before. Imagine an exotic trip through Highlife-style guitar licks, Mariachi-band trumpets, percolating basslines, disco handclaps, soaring flute solos, crazy arpeggio synth lines and video game bleeps and bloops – and you'll get the general idea. Poppy, the lead singer whose melodies are suffused with local folk-singing traditions and “A passion for sharing the oneness in everything”
