Intense and dramatic no wave punk rock from Welwyn Garden City, featuring Mark Astronaut of semi legendary anarcho punk outfit The Astronauts.
People love Otters- they're cute, cuddly and friendly, but The Otters are the antithesis of our cute furry friend. The Otters live gigs are unmissable; a fusion of chaos, violence, dancing, sing-a-long songs, noise, fluffy hair, furious drumming, thumping basslines, shredding guitar riffs, singing, screaming, and raw power. Juxtaposing dark tales of modern day suburbia with real, honest music that refuses to be pigeonholed, The Otters continue to leap from strength to strength, supporting the likes of up and comers such as The Holloways, The Chalets, Stuffy & The Fuses, as well as earlier bands such as P.A.I.N and Clayson & The Argonauts. Dubbed as the ‘anti Orson’ and ‘everything that’s right about music’, The Otters don’t exist to be cool, to get laid, to get drunk, to be famous or to conform to order; The Otters exist to challenge all that. Join in or fuck off.
“The Otters – a weird and surreal bunch of nutters, the singer Mark Astronaut now in his early fifties and writing stronger and deeper material all the time, performs from down stage right leaving the centre stage for Joe bass, Dom guitar and Dennis drums, 3 great musicians who are still teenagers, and are much prettier than Mark! Their performances always pull you into their world with some short catchy tunes in amongst the longer more epic songs that chop and change direction and enthrall the crowd at the same time, very entertaining and totally memorable”. Bob Marden - Club 85
"The Otters are out of their musical trees, anarchic, unpredictable, experimental and downright obtuse. We can only take our hats
off to 'em." - FUSE Magazine
"It's noisy, uncompromising and a real reason to get excited about the future of the music industry. The Otters are the anti-thesis to everything around at the moment - the corporate bollocks of the emo rock / punk pop filling Kerrang each week. If more bands got into music because it excited them rather than thinking about sales and celebrity bullshit then the world would be a better place. Thank f**k for The Otters!!!"
