Thu 15th The Luminaire presents ACOUSTIC LADYLAND + Fulborn Teversham + Normal Gimbel
Doors 7.30 This most singular of bands loves to mess with convention, although there is nothing about this band that is tricky or arch. Of jazz, but not in the least inhibited by jazz tradition, and with a fierce post-punk attitude, Acoustic Ladyland simply create potent, soul-searching music: intense, life-affirming pop. This London quartet of mischief makers and incandescent musicians raise the bar again, hopscotching feeble attempts at genre categorisation.
“I can recommend Acoustic Ladyland’s Skinny Grin… it’s an outstanding release” - Scott Walker Main support Normal Gimbel are a new project of music written by Polar Bear's Sebastian Rochford, featuring Pete Wareham (Acoustic Ladyland) on saxophone, Nick Ramm (Cinematic Orchestra) and vocalist Alice Grant. Their music goes from hard to soft, quiet to loud, happy to angry, punk to jazz to folk to electro, with songs of love and no love, friends and non friends. Normal Gimbel open the show - two voices singing strange and lovely songs that’ll put a skip in your step and a song in your heart. "A haunting and slightly scary a cappella duo" - Time Out |
