The Blibbering Humdingers
T
he Blibbering Humdingers (aka "the Dingers" or "the Humdingers"
"the BH") are a husband/wife wizard rock duo
from Cary, NC. They play mostly comedic songs about Harry Potter and the
wizarding world created by J. K. Rowling.
Scott & Kirsten got their start doing wizard rock in 2007. Whilst searching the web for Potter-filks to perform for an upcoming show, they discovered Draco & the Malfoys. Shortly thereafter they attended a Harry & the Potters show at a local library. After the Death Hallows book release that summer, they decided to try their hand at writing some of their own songs. With the online release of "Voldemort Made Me Crap My Pants" the Humdingers were born.
Since then they've played numerous local shows in central NC with the Moaning Myrtels, the Butterbeer Experience, The Whomping Willows, Gred & Forge, Hawthorn & Holly, Tonks & the Aurors, Bella & LeStrangers, and many other touring wizard rock bands. They've performed at various conventions including Portus, Con Carolinas, Leaky Con, Infinitus, RavenCon, and even mainstage at Wrockstock 2010, and 2011. Their songs have been featured on a variety of charity compliations including Sirisuly Smiling and Jingle Spells 3.
They perform in a wide range of musical styles from old-timey, to 50s do-wop, to 80s new-wave, to straight rock. Most of their songs have a comedic bent, poking fun at characters or situations in he HP books and movies, or turning seemingly innocent situations into lewd ones.
They regularly host wizard rock shows in central North Carolina, often in their home in Cary. They have been know to borrow members of Hawthorn & Holly and Gred & Forge for backing vocals, electirc bass, and percussion.
