UNIQUE FREAKS
plus support
Whelan’s Upstairs • Fri 13th March 2026
Unique Freaks have found themselves in a moment of blossoming, from their initial beginnings as an Industrial duo, then stumbling into their freak folk debut ‘Light Boat Drones’ and blasting into two complete psychedelic ear bleeders ‘Ponderous Fug’ & ‘Beaming A Moments Reflection’, both of which received critical acclaim.In the summer of 2024 the duo shifted directions, focusing on formulating shorter more concise songs which resulted in the ‘Glowing Friends’ EP, their first release as Unique Freaks. All this sonic shifting has finally jettisoned them into their latest project, A complete boiling pot of everything the Freaks have ingested, sonically, orally, visually, you name it. Though the new material takes on a POP approach in its production, the Freaks’ whimsical, and often vulnerable personalities bleed through, at times showing bare bone.Throughout their time as Thee U.F.O the Freaks were seen playing live shows with the likes of Godcaster, Jim Jones All Stars, Meatbodies, Acid Mothers Temple, Cardinals, Search Results and many more national & international acts; as well as securing a spot at All Together Now 2023. In September 2024 the duo debuted a new live line-up featuring two drummers and a psychedelic light show, They intend on making their live shows more overwhelming and bizarre. The band are set to release their latest album, Enjoyment Planted on September 19th, 2025.
