The Burning Hell (CAN) + River Dreams

The Burning Hell is the musical project of songwriter Mathias Kom and multi-instrumentalist Ariel Sharratt, based in the woods of rural Prince Edward Island, Canada. Their narrative-driven songs are packed with an abundance of literary, historical, and pop-cultural subjects, incorporating a frequent fixation on apocalypse and ruin into work that celebrates participation in a mutually created, ever surprising, and even occasionally beautiful world. Ariel and Mathias weave bass clarinet and electric guitar through their humourous and sometimes heartbreaking story songs about gannets and garbage, ghosts and capitalism, labour and robots. In their live sets, they emphasize presence and connection, affirming a commitment to the political power of sharing music. In 2027 they'll be touring Australia again, with stops at Port Fairy and Nannup Music Festivals, and a side trip to go birding at the Werribee sewage treatment plant (which they have a love song about). This will be their third time at the PBC, their favourite venue in Australia. Support comes from local legend River Dreams, aka Carl Manwarring in his first show in over a year. Do not miss this one! This is an 18+ Show. https://www.facebook.com/theburninghell https://www.instagram.com/theburninghellband/ https://theburninghell.bandcamp.com/ ***** Getting to The PBC!
