Flesh and Bone
Flesh and Bone is the dark comedy for anyone who relishes 2015 Tumblr, trauma-dumping, and drone music.
Missing people from the 1960s/70s inter-communal Cypriot conflict are returning as zombies, disrupting borders and creating havoc, but not for Muppet-Joker. He's more concerned about how moving to Cyprus has landed him with emo siblings, Sage and Milton, divided by religious trauma, and their leader, Athena, who thinks she is a vampire spiritually connected to Gerard Way.
B.U.I
B.U.I is a poet and soundmaker whose practice echoes themes of temporal fracture, nguni cosmology and being a Londoner
Sidney Packard
Sidney Packard is an alternative electronic pop musician with infectious hooks, dark synth-driven production and theatrical live performances. Sidney is a proud trans artist that draws inspirations from multiple different sources, whether it's Greek mythology, dreams or the Bible.
Theyvid
Something has crawled out of tumblr to cause problems. Singer, actor, drag artist, and nerd. Theyvid is inspired to create by their musical theatre background, fandom culture, and the communities surrounding them.
They are most often spotted as the host of regular Brighton cabaret 'Nerd Ball', with their drag collective, The Fools. He has additionally co-written the musical "Idle Women" and produced other drag cabarets such as "Roll for Performance" and "The Once and Future Drag Show".
In his free time, he does well-adjusted neurotypical things, such as writing fanfiction and playing dnd.
