An awesome one off show from the man Jarvis Cocker describes as the finest song-writer of his generation, and a beatnik legend from the generation previous.
The Jeffrey Lewis & Peter Stampfel
Band hits the UK in May 2013, with a new album in tow! Songwriter and
visual artist Jeffrey Lewis is renowned for his six albums of twisted
garage-indie-folk on Rough Trade, while Grammy winner Peter
Stampfel now celebrates 50(!) years of making totally off-the-wall folk
music, most famously with the Holy Modal Rounders and the Fugs (in addition to being featured on the Easy Rider soundtrack,
and more notable albums and collaborations than you'd care to count).
Although forty years apart in age, these two New Yorkers share an
obsession with both comic books and songs, as well as a collaborative
history that has spawned some of the most unexpected and delightful
music of recent years! A tour from this pair (and their full 5-piece
band, w/ guest-star Franic of the Wave Pictures on mandolin) is an event
not to be missed.
"…it's a gig of equals. [...] they are quite a duo, this mismatched but perfectly compatible pair of New Yorkers." - **** - The Guardian
