| Hello Everyone! | |
Shannon Wright Exclusive London Show! Friday, March 23, 2012 The Windmill 22 Blenheim Gardens, London, UK SW2 5BZ [map] w/ FU, Damnably & Silver Rocket DJs, 8:00pm[Buy Tickets] Shannon Wright's alt-country trio Crowsdell released two acclaimed LPs for Big Cat during the 1990s. They were recorded by Steve Malkmus and were regular John Peel favourites. When Crowsdell disbanded in 97', Shannon Wright thought about quitting music. After borrowing a 4 track machine, however, Wright taught herself to play drums, and a musical metamorphosis was set in motion. Her solo releases since have unleashed a visceral, abrasive, and raw form of post-punk expressionism. Wright's guitar-playing, and her approach to composition are simply unique. Wright has recorded with Steve Albini and Yann Tierson since signing to Touch and Go Records. She has made eight acclaimed albums (including FlightSafety, Maps of Tacit, Over The Sun, Let in the Light, and most recently, Secret Blood). In the live arena, she really shines; Shannon has been the touring partner of choice for Low, Sleater-Kinney, The Dirty Three, and Nick Cave, and was part of the All Tomorrows Parties curated by Shellac and the Dirty Three. This is a rare opportunity to see a remarkable, intense, and groundbreaking performer in the U.K. Don't miss it! And don't forget we have coming up!  \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// | |

Here's what some of the press have said: "If Farina has learned anything in his 20-plus years as a musician, it's how to turn the worst parts of life into the greatest art." Alternative Press "a serenity that can reveal both beauty and melancholy" Beat The Static "both a fine collection of contemporary songs and a homage to legendary folk guitarists" Slow Thrills "Former Karate front-man pens beautifully realised folk-leaning love letter to the Kennebec River." Pocket Jury "one of Geoff Farina's most generously melodic collections, which repays patience with warmth from a distinctive songwriting intellect." DOA "consistently rich and rewarding" clicky clicky music HAMMER AND SPADE is the first single off of this release released digitally on the 20th Feb 2012, and it comes with two bonus live tracks St Annes Reel and Secret Stars solo cover Not About A Birthday!
