Good afternoon!
Thanks go out to so many of you for helping making the FUZZ show last
week so much fun, I’m still nodding my head slowly in time to the all consuming
God of Riff. Our next show takes place tomorrow and marks a considerable gear
change as we’ll be pitching up at the truly ancient St Pancras Old Church for a
night of heart-spun balladeering with poignant but growing gestures from STEPHEN
STEINBRINK, JULIE BYRNE and SLUSHY GUTS. Live music will
commence around 8pm and we will have some select tickets available on the door.
Read on for all you need to know, along with our listing for next Monday’s RICHARD
DAWSON and ASIQ NARGILE show, where they’ll compare and contrast the
wandering poetic traditions of Britain and Georgia, bards at the ready! In
other news we just confirmed ERIC CHENAUX as main support for MATANA
ROBERTS’ concert next month too.

STEPHEN STEINBRINK is a 27 year old
songwriter and recording engineer born and raised in the arid desert of Arizona
and currently floating around the western USA, dividing his time between the
green spaces around Olympia, Washington and the concrete flats of Oakland,
California. Having spent the better part of a decade touring North America and
Europe in buses, vans, and trains, his wanderlust travels shaped his stunning
breakthrough album Arranged Waves, released last year on Melodic. Truly engaged
with the unintelligible and absurd, Steinbrink is more cultural observer than
21st century busker with his intelligently cool left-of-centre approach to a
sincere melody, using pop tropes to convey something deeper. At the same time,
it’s his lyrics that mark Steinbrink out as a true punk minstrel trying to how
to figure out how to be a person in the world.

JULIE BYRNE has counted Buffalo,
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Northampton, Massachusetts, Chicago, Illinois,
Seattle, New Orleans and New York as her home in recent years and spent the
majority of the last two years on the road. It's these travels and new places
that inspire and influence her most, giving us a glimpse inside her own quietly
mystical world and her unique slant on the one the rest of us happen to
inhabit. Her debut long player 'Rooms With Walls and Windows', released last
year on Orindal is a true modern-day word of mouth success and was voted number
7 in Mojo's best albums of 2014. It's a stunning set of front porch psych-folk
that unknowingly recalled the greats - Vasthi Bunyan, Linda Perhacs, Karen
Dalton - but very much for our time. For all her otherworldliness, there is a
realism too to Byrne, she is street smart and more punk in spirit than
searching for the hippie ideal.

SLUSHY GUTS is the continually
evolving idea of Stephen Keane, a one man endeavor, with additional members
occasionally brought in and out for live performances. Slushy Guts exists by
itself, slowly, quietly, spaciously, strangely skewed and scattered, the sound
of stripped-bare tape deck bedroom recordings made in the gray dawn light. With
guitars pitched somewhere between 90s post-rock forward thinking, fuzzed out
pop and tradition balladeering, Slushy Guts sound is completely its own. Since
2009 Slushy Guts has self released a slew of limited tapes, cdrs and records,
as well as a screenprinted book of Stephens artwork, which he has made under
the name Chaos vs Cosmos since the early noughties . In 2015 Edils records
digitally re-issued much of this. Edils will be releasing a best of cassette
and a new Slushy Guts LP in early 2016.

A
very special union of two bold and visionary performers from very different
walks of song: Richard Dawson (Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, UK) and Asiq Nargile
(Georgia) are bound together by the distinctive ways in which they channel the
ancients to transcend the everyday. Dawson and Nargile met at last October's
TUSK Festival in Newcastle, and the seeds were sown for a tour pairing these
questing musical spirits for a select run of double-bill occasions across the
UK.
RICHARD DAWSON is a skewed
troubadour at once charming and abrasive, rising up from the bed of the River
Tyne, his voice crumbles and soars being steeped in age-old balladry and
finely-chiseled observations of the mundane. His shambolically virtuosic guitar
playing stumbles from music-hall tune-smithery to spidery swatches of noise-colour,
swathed in amp static and teetering on the edge of feedback. His songs are both
chucklesome and tragic, rooted in a febrile imagination that references worlds
held dear and worlds unknown. Latest album Nothing Important, out now on Weird
World/Domino, has seen Dawson's song visions seep, uncompromised and
irrepressible, into wider consciousness, confirming him as an unparalleled
voice in today’s over-preened and manufactured music world.
ASIQ NARGILE aka Nargile
Mehtiyeva was born in Tbilisi and is now based in the Borcali region of
Southern Georgia, she has been playing saz (long-neck lute) and singing since
the age of 15. Fluent in Azerbaijani, Georgian, and Russian, Nargile represents
the cosmopolitan heritage of old Tbilisi, a city once known as a meeting point
for multilingual aşıq bards who would travel through the region serving as
conduits for news, ideas, music and culture. A powerful solo performer, her
vocal recital of epic folk poetry is by turns ecstatic and deeply expressive,
and is interspersed with bursts of virtuosic, highly ornamented saz. Equally
comfortable performing moving laments or upbeat folk dances, Nargile is
currently the only female aşıq living and performing in the ethnic Azeri region
of Georgia, and has been teaching the art to new generations. Thanks to the
efforts of The Sayat Nova Project, a non-profit group aiming to help preserve
and promote the diverse musical dialects of the Caucasus, European audiences
can now experience the elusive, hypnotic beauty of Nargile's music for themselves.
See you tomorrow, thanks for your time!
