Geoff Farina & Chris Brokaw + support Michael L.Clamp
The pair will launch the release of their first album together, “The Angel’s Message To Me” out in the UK in March! They will play 2 sets , featuring a magnificent journey through their combined back catalogues, culminating in material from the new album. Expect to be awe struck! Geoff Farina (Southern) (Karate/Secret Stars/Glorytellers) Geoff has not played in the UK for 7 years so this will be a rare treat! Geoff Farina fronts Glorytellers, but is probably best known for the abstract lyrics and jazzy, post-punk guitar style he developed over his 12 years with Karate, or as one-half of The Secret Stars, the seminal early-90s duo that passed around home-made cassettes of songs now covered by the likes of Ida and Death Cab for Cutie. “Farina is an existential detective, dusting the surfaces of his life for traces of some deeper meaning, sifting through the ordinary to find some underlying connection.” Boston Phoenix. Chris Brokaw is one of the hardest working musicians in America and known throughout as a true gentleman. A great guitarist also blessed with a deep soulful songwriting skill and dry smokey voice. He was a founding member of Codeine; the band that started the Slowcore scene in the late 80’s, then he formed Come with Thalia Zedek, now drums in The New Year, plays guitar for Thurston Moore and Evan Dando and with a wealth of other high achieving acts. Chris Brokaw is a rare humble genius and one of the finest solo artists of our times
