Hi gang, MERRY CRISIS!
Already sick of Consumeristmas time before it’s even really started? We made this song to remind ourselves we can support independent makers and artists and / or invent our own ways to show our loved ones we care about them that feel more appropriate to the times we are living in than just hitting the usual overspend button
Welcome to FOSSILHEADS: CLIMATE CRISIS CABARET!
Our mission is to encourage audiences towards environmental action with our unique eco-political/comic/folk/opera/theatrical songs that put the “oooh” in “existential doom”
NOW BOOKING FOR SUMMER 2025! we’ll consider playing most anywhere get-to-able by public transport so please drop us a line with your ideas
Here is a new 1 minute trailer that gives a quick idea of our performance:
And here is our NEW Halloween song IT’S GEN ALPHA AT THE DOOR – that tells the story of children trick-or-treating not for sweets but for ANSWERS about the climate crisis, and why we are putting climate protesters in prison for so long:
And here’s another of our most popular 2024 releases, “I’m going Vegan for Valentines, (that’s literally your gift) – a comedy song that highlights the issues around the growth of mega-farms in the UK, inspired by the books “Farmageddon” and “60 Harvests Left” by Philip Lymberry:
And here’s one that is particularly popular in our live performance, that satirises the conspiracy theories that hound progress towards more cities becoming easier to navigate without using a car: “she’s trying to make it more convenient to get to a leisure centre like it’s some dystopian nightmare!”
Here are some reviews and quotes about our show:
“Brilliant Brechtian cabaret chanson environmentalists…” ATTILA the STOCKBROKER
“Clever, funny, superbly talented and thought provoking” SCOTT DOONICAN, THE BAR-STEWARD SONS OF VAL DOONICAN
“Segovia meets the Oxford English Dictionary – absolutely incredible!” DAVID FITZGERALD, BBC RADIO DEVON
“FOSSILHEADS are next and the duo’s songs about the looming climate catastrophe are as timely and pointed as they are funny. The pair are fantastic performers with great chemistry and stage presence. Songs about climate change denial and corporate greenwashing are delivered with a mix of comedic character work and incredible musicianship. As per their introduction, they do indeed put the ‘ooh’ in ‘existential doom'”. TWINFEST REVIEW, NEW BOOTS
“You were FAB! Getting a laugh out of climate change is quite a challenge but light relief is essential to keep us going and you provided some good belly laughs alongside spot-on lyrics. FOSSILHEADS is so clever, so brilliantly observed, so funny and so true. Thanks for being part of the Solution Zone.” EM WEIRDIGAN, GREEN GATHERING
“If you like unusual eco songs sung by 2 complete weirdos… then this is the stuff for you. 11/10 would listen again. Prepare your funny bone though!” JESS TUTHILL, NATIONAL UKELELE SENSATION
“I saw Fossilheads at small world festival and they blew me away. Very funny and poignant. The pair bounce off each other in a wonderful way. Highly recommend them!” AMY GARROD, FOSSILHEADS FB PAGE
