About Spanner Jazz Punks
Spanner Jazz Punks merge high-octane performances with a mind-mangling display of musicianship, captivating audiences with a seductive web of Anarcho-Gallic extravagance.
An unhinged troupe of ne'er-do-wells armed to the teeth with horns, accordion, recorders, zither, violin, and bleating goats, Spanner Jazz Punks combine a frenzied array of genres with eclectic performance disciplines including music, dance, theatrics, circus and film.
Les spectacles électrisants de Spanner Jazz Punks exposent de façon déroutante les qualités de ses musiciens, captivant leur public par l’extravagance séduisante d’un tissage anarcho-gaulois.
Une troupe détraqué de "bons-à-rien" armés jusqu’aux dents de tubes et tuyaux, d’accordéons, de flûtes, cithares, violons et de bêlement des chèvres, Spanner Jazz Punks combine dans un mélange de genres frénétique des disciplines allant de la danse au théâtre, en passant par le cirque et le cinéma.
While on tour with French chainsaw-juggling circus company Archaos, Dan Spanner created the Spannerman Performance Band, bringing together musicians and circus performers to create the definitive essence of punk jazz.
Relentless in his mission to explore the seedy side, Dan gathered together the Spanner Jazz Punks who emerged in 2007 with all the eclecto-manic attachments.
