The Mighty Beck (Boosh)

    Those of you who are The Mighty Boosh fans will instantly know what I'm talking about from the title, and if not shame on you. Last night The Mighty Boosh were on the list many bands/musicians performing for Beck: Song Reader Live, each group was given a song title then allowed free rein on the lyrics. Now of course giving Noel Fielding and Julian Barratt the title 'We All Wear Cloaks' was a very wise choice, not only was it Fielding and Barratt performing together but Oly Ralfe from the Ralfe Band came along too during their set. 

    Sadly, I only found out about the gig on the night so tickets were completely sold out, and the gig was also in London and considering I live in Manchester I really couldn't get there quick sticks. If you happen to have an account on Tumblr there have been a few pictures scattered around from a variety of fans who managed to grab tickets, along with a video of their song which I'll leave down below. The Mighty Boosh have been out of action for roughly 5/6 years, so this concert along with them performing for Jack Black's Festival Supreme this summer is a massive turning point for themselves and their fans.

    Like most of the Boosh fans, I'm anticipating this to be the full return of The Mighty Boosh whether that be displayed through small UK tours of The Boosh Band, through the album they've not released or the film that has been half written. Either way some reconnections of The Boosh is a wonderful thing to happen to comedy and were all excited to see what their next move is.

    If you've read this post and thought "Who are The Mighty Boosh?" well I recommend you hop on down to Youtube and simply type in The Mighty Boosh and you'll come up with results of their songs and clips from their comedy show. If you're into surrealist humor or just off the wall comedy then definitely sink your teeth into Fielding and Julian!
