There will be a limited amount available on tour. Joining them along the West Coast will be label mates, Immaterial Possession and North Californian psychists, Carlton Melton* (*San Francisco only). Tickets on sale now!
‘Live At The Great American Music Hall’, an incendiary live set of greatest hits of The Bevis Frond circa 1998. Featuring over an hour’s worth of prime Frond, it mixes the bittersweet melodies of Nick Saloman’s much-covered ‘Lights Are Changing’ and ‘He’d Be A Diamond’ with fuzz fuelled riffs and masterful soloing. Played as a power trio with Saloman enlisting his long-time associate and former Hawkwind bass player Adrian Shaw, and Andy Ward, former drummer with 70s prog giants Camel. With a staggering ten-minute rethinking of Love’s come down anthem ‘Signed DC’ closing the show. This set also includes culled cuts from their debut ‘Miasma’ through to the groundbreaking ‘New River Head’ and beyond into the 90s.
