Poppycock + Luned Rhys

Poppycock was formed in 2012 by Una Baines of The Fall, Blue Orchids and latterly The Fates.

Working from Una’s substantial back-catalogue of songs (both released und unreleased) Poppycock began initially as a floating collective of musicians. Una says: “Our first gig was at the beautiful but dilapidated Hippodrome theatre in Hulme. I had worked with 2 halves of the band separately so the gig was actually the first time we had all played together. A baptism of fire!” Poppycock’s signature sound has been described as ‘Cockypop’ featuring quirky lyrics and seasoned musicianship – Lizard Man for example , was written after a dream Una had about The Fall and is a tribute to Mark E Smith.
