NOVEMBER 23 AND 24 20:00 UHR AT RENATE, BERLIN Puddles and The Creatures from the Deep will revive Act 2 of the Puddles Saga, an hour long set of gut wrenching songs titled The Howling Wave Form Sum. Originally premiered in March 2020 at Mousonturm, Frankfurt, the piece weaves the affects of isolation, addiction, broken relationships making a plea for perspective, ease, acceptance and mercy. The Howling Wave Form Sum also pay’s tribute to the legendary Benjamin Smoke with three covers of this angel battlefield nurse music visionary as well as excerpts and influences from the extraordinary bird poet EZRA GREEN OH EZRA GREEN!!


Puddles the Pelican and her five piece band, The Creatures from the Deep (Tolimieri Keys, Zieniawa Percussion, Prasad Bass, Jamileh Back Up Vocals, Kullen Synth) are a Blood and Guts Concert Odyssey, embracing a politically charged form of queer science fiction to see through the violent present. Puddles, a survivor of the Deep Horizon Oil Spill, is a broken, scrappy, one-eyed bird of a cabaret singer, coming to you live from a cruise ship floating through hell. Welcome to Minus Level 9, the classy shit hole nightclub in the basement of the ship where she and her band play one gut wrenching torch song after the next. She sings, squawks, moans and tells stories of love and loss. “Once a glorious bird, now covered in oil, which one of you Bitches has a match!?!”
