Pearl Handled Revolver
Pearl Handled Revolver at The Bear Club, Luton
About the show
Pearl Handled Revolver’s recent gigs at The Bear have become legendary. After recording their live album “Live at The Bear Club” in 2025, they’re returning to perform their own original and distinctive fusion of psychedelic blues and progressive jazz rock.
Expect an extended set of fan favourites and deeper cuts, with the band revisiting familiar material and pulling out a few pieces that don’t surface often, with plenty of space for improvisation. There will also be new unreleased material that’s never been heard live before, as well as some older songs the band haven’t revisited in a long time.
Rhythm Magazine said, “Imagine a late night tavern, exotically scented smoke in the air, Aleister Crowley and Anton LaVey in the corner booth, with absinthe and out of body experiences on the menu. Pearl Handled Revolver would be the house band.”
On this night, The Bear Club will be that tavern.
Featuring - Pearl Handled Revolver
Pearl Handed Revolver are a blues rock five piece from Bedford.
Boasting five studio albums, a boxed set double album, four EPs, and three live releases, Pearl Handled Revolver have cultivated a loyal following through their cult neo-psychedelic rock albums, as well as their energetic and mesmerising performances at top festivals and venues across the UK and Europe, with their hypnotic live shows securing a devoted fanbase in the UK psychedelic and progressive rock scene.
Sometimes the result is Heavy Rock, sometimes Jazz rears its head and the spectre of Funk and RnB loom large; the exploratory spirit of Psyche and Prog always hangs heavy, allowing the band to fly just as the Blues roots them and marks the grain of their fingerprints. The only expectation with any weight is that, once together, time gives way to music.

"They sound like some half remembered dream you had about Tom Waits fronting the Doors. Creepy, groovy and utterly infectious". - Classic Rock Magazine
"It's music that sounds like it's coming up through the gutter from a subterranean blues club that is frequented by a collection of vagabonds and circus freaks tripping on hallucinogens." - Powerplay
