The Kar-pets are an Inspiral Carpets tribute band, but a tribute band with a difference: their lead singer Tom Hingley was lead singer with Inspiral Carpets from 1989-2011.
Inspiral fans will be thrilled to know that the Kar-pets will be live in Bedford this Saturday night (June 9) for a date at Bedford Esquires.
Alongside their Manchester counterparts Happy Mondays, Stone Roses & 808 State, Inspiral Carpets were part of Madchester movement & remained well loved to this day.
Tom is taking the songs back he performed on and taking them back out on the road with his full band The Kar-pets reproducing that original sound that shot the band to fame for this very special gig.
Tom sang on all the Inspiral Carpets chart hits and singles including This is How it Feels, Saturn Five, Dragging Me Down, Joe, find out Why, commercial rain, two Worlds Collide, Bitches Brew, I Want You, She Comes in the Fall and all the songs on the bands four Major label albums - Life (1990) The Beast Inside (1991) Revenge of the Goldfish (1992) and Devilhopping (1994) Tom also fronted the band when they headlined the Reading Festival in 1991.
The Karpets have been active for the past couple of years, played barnstorming sets at Shine On Weekender, Embrace’s Secret Festival , Readipop Festival and too many more to mention.
The live experience is raw, dynamic, punky & energetic. The band play like their very existence depends on it with humour, skill and volume.
Aftershow party is included in the £14 ticket price, and you can book them here
