With their ever-mutating brand of jazz-and-country-laced punk, Opus Kink have always cut a singular figure in a saturated landscape. Making their name with incendiary, cult-like live shows, the band – formed in Brighton in 2017 – have developed a sound as elusive as it is recognisable. Through their songs concerning violence, evil, shame, troubled sexual politics, anxiety and emptiness, all served with a wry absurdist bent, Opus Kink craft an alluring nether-world for their voracious audiences to plunge into. Opus Kink are performing live on the Terrace of the Concorde 2 in Brighton on Thursday 6th August courtesy of JOY. Don’t forget the rest of the band, Sax, Trumpet, bass and drums, they were all full on at it, moving, jumping about.
