Thu 28th The Luminaire presents SONS & DAUGHTERS + Joe Gideon and The Shark + Derek Meins SOLD OUT
Doors 7.30 Formed in Glasgow four years ago over a shared love of Johnny Cash records, Sons & Daughters’ sound is of blackest Americana mixed with broadest Scots, Spinning dark tales of broken bones and tough love, best showcased on their Urgent and unapologetic debut full-length album ‘The Repulsion Box’ in 2005. They introduced a lyrical world of dysfunctional relationships from which there seemed no escape, played out against a wall of sound of rusty folk and drum-heavy, malevolent indie rock. Main support are Joe Gideon and The Shark, a brother and sister duo. Brother sings, plays guitar, kid sister plays drums, guitar, keyboards, sings, glock, and anything else she can. They both used to both be in Bikini Atoll, had a couple of records out on Bella Union, made a record with Steve Albini, toured with Scout Niblett, Lisa Germano, Archie Bronson Outfit, Josh Pearson and Duke Garwood. Now they're making a new record with Head and thrilled to be playing with Sons and Daughters.
First on is Derek Meins - an engaging mixture of songs and off the wall performance poetry, adding up to a highly entertaining and at some points extremely amusing show. One man and a guitar but unlike anything you have ever witnessed, certainly not "another" singer-songwriter. Derek has been described as, "Tom Waits before his balls dropped." |
