LustSickPuppy

You might not think that you’re coming to Roadburn to dance. You might be sitting in the comfort of your own home right now, reading these words on a glowing screen and feeling a very long way from the sensation of your body starting to move rhythmically to a pulsating beat. However, if you have the good fortune to be wise to LustSickPuppy already, or if you have the serendipitous luck to wander into the room when they’re playing, then you really may not have much choice in the matter. 

LustSickPuppy is an unholy mashup of digital hardcore, rap, acid electronica and noise with an eye for art and a brain full of big ideas. The ferocity of it is a dizzying experience when played through headphones, and the live manifestation promises even more disorienting, breakneck intensity. Equal parts glitter and blood, their shows are raw and unpredictable, a live rave liturgy taking audiences by the leash while offering the ride of a lifetime. 

Obliterating genre boundaries, their hyperactive music does not neatly fit in a box, nor is it something that can be easily compared or described in a way that will do it justice. Our suggestion is to throw yourself into the chaos wholeheartedly and let yourself get pushed about; bounce off the walls of the LustSickPuppy playroom, embrace it as you find it and you’ll be dancing before you know it.
