Dr Peril
The origins of Dr Peril began in 1996 as a group drawing on influences of theatre and film to create highly visual performances. During this time they played at nightclubs, art events and fringe festivals using film projection and fantastic costumes in loud dramatic shows.
The group developed into a band combining samplers, keyboards and other electronic devices with guitars and drums to produce smooth pop blending influences of jazz, rock and film soundtrack.
