| Post subject: | Mon 29th Oct - LAWM in Lancaster - O'DEATH (USA) + support |
Monday October 29th 2007 The Yorkshire House, Parliament Street, Lancaster. Doors 8pm, Entry £5 Advance Tickets: http://www.wegottickets.com/location/LAWM LAWM presents a perfect night of jaw dropping high tempo darkness with New York's O'Death - frantic gothic alt.country - our Halloween bash so feel free to express yourself with deathly dress - best effort wins an O'Death cd Five guys, maybe three shirts between them, take to the stage. There’s a banjo, a fiddle, a drum set littered with gas cans, chains, and broken cymbals. Then they all start howling, stomping; it’s an anachronistic jug band party in a junkyard with sing-along hooks and weathered vocals from another time. Their fans, an ever-expanding congregation, sing along and follow the band with an almost religious fervor, and as vocalist Greg Jamie’s eyes roll back into his head there’s a sense that something almost sinisterly spiritual has overtaken everyone in the room. This is the world of O’DEATH. With the re-release of Head Home, the critically acclaimed New York act has created a perfect companion to their spellbinding live show. Part southern gothic spiritual, part moonshine fuelled hoedown, these recordings, now presented with new remixes done by the band and Billy Pavone, are a timeless addition to the canon of weird old America. Check out http://www.myspace.com/odeath It seemed like a perfect accompaniment to this to invite Manchester’s LAST HARBOUR. Last Harbour are a collective playing rustic, cinematically atmospheric songs that rattle and loom, at once epic and intimate, harsh and beautiful. Using instrumentation that might traditionally be associated with folk music, the band instead hammer and sculpt their music into unusual and beguiling forms. This is music with a strong emotional content, both bitter and beautiful - a must for fans of bands such as Tindersticks, Dirty Three and Nick Cave. "A record of seductive charm and nocturnal glower” (Uncut). Check out http://www.myspace.com/lastharbour Kicking off the night and now firmly installed as LAWM favourites are RUBY IN THE DUST. They have only been gigging for less than a year but they have become instantly popular around Lancaster for their original sound, a mix of cabaret, bar room jazz, with Arabic influences.
