I would have to say, this would rate right up there with one of the strangest gig outfits I’ve ever seen. I think it would be a bitch to wear on a hot, summer day.

I figured that I might find them on YouTube or somewhere, and sure enough, I did.
A bit more Googling and I discovered that the Deep Sea Jivers are actually one of the street show personae of Swervy World. Swervy World started in 1996 in Tavistock, North Devon, as a touring theatre company. However, when financial backing became elusive, the group found busking became an effective way to meet their budgets.
If you’d like to see and hear a really good video of the Deep Sea Jivers, check out their Street Shows page. There’s a great video on it of the Batman theme. (Here’s a teaser: It features the sax player.)
For more really great photos of the band, check out the Street Photography In Tunbridge Wells blog. Anonymous Bosch got some great, colourful shots of the Deep Sea Jivers as they made a special appearance on the Pantiles.
