DANIEL JOHNSTON
@: The Sage Gateshead, Thursday 5th November @ 7.30pm. Tickets 18.50, see link below
Daniel Johnston has spent the last 20 or so years exposing his heartrending tales of unrequited love, cosmic mishaps, and existential torment to an ever-growing international cult audience.
He began his prolific musical career in the early 1980s, recording albums including 'Songs of Pain' and 'Yip Jump Music' in his parent's basement and self-releasing them on tape.
His status as a cult icon has seen continual resurgence through the acclaim of the late Kurt Cobain, collaboration with Butthole Surfers, Sonic Youth and covers of his music by artists such as Tom Waits, Eels, Bright Eyes and Flaming Lips.
In recent years he was the feature of an acclaimed documentary called 'The Devil and Daniel Johnston.'
