The Baboon Show

About

The Baboon Show is the audacious Swedish rock outfit that refuses to play by the rules. With a sound that melds garage rock grit, punk energy, and a dash of theatrical flair, the band has carved out a niche as one of Scandinavia’s most unpredictable and electrifying acts. Their music is a riotous blend of raw power and dark humor, drawing comparisons to The Cramps, The Stooges, and even a twisted cabaret act. Formed in the early 2000s, The Baboon Show quickly gained notoriety for their chaotic live performances and unapologetically eccentric style. Their breakthrough came with the release of their debut album, *The Baboon Show*, in 2003, which cemented their reputation as purveyors of high-octane, genre-defying rock. Over the years, they’ve toured relentlessly, earning a cult following across Europe and beyond. Culturally, The Baboon Show stands out for their ability to blend the macabre with the absurd, creating a world where rock ‘n’ roll meets vaudeville. Their artistic identity is as much about the spectacle as it is about the music, with frontman Baboon’s larger-than-life persona leading the charge. Collaborations with artists like The Hellacopters and The (International) Noise Conspiracy have further solidified their place in the underground rock scene. Currently, The Baboon Show continues to push boundaries, with recent releases showcasing a refined yet still raucous sound. Their latest project, *The Baboon Show 20th Anniversary Tour*, celebrates two decades of chaos, proving that their brand of rock ‘n’ roll is as vital as ever.
