The Dirty Coal Train
Portuguese Freakshow

Album PT 2018 on Groovie Records label
Alternative (Garage Rock, Punk, Surf)

During the years between their childhood and adulthood they dreamed of and hoped to enter the restricted group of chosen creators getting stuck in the clutches of the distance and desolate winds of their native land. For the past seven years, they have independently traveled the lands and habitats of the selected few, meeting countless artisans of the creative process with whom they shared their love and commitment to art (sometimes for this very same reason they were called "amateurs") and learned that they were trying to incarnate what was, for them, a distant and meaningless word. So, they chose to walk this parallel world where they were accepted as equals, away from a world that separates recognized creators from amateurs ... the "chosen ones" from the freaks !
