THE TENEBROUS LIAR / SPOTLIGHT KID (ex SIX BY SEVEN) - MARCH 14
The Tenebrous Liar is the band formed be legendary rock photographer, and former editor of 'Loose Lips Sink Ships', Steve Gullick, who as I type are in the midst of a UK tour supporting new long player 'Jacknifed & Slaughtered'. Their sound is dark and draws influence from the likes of the Birthday Party, Palace and post-rock, all with Gullicks Mark Lanegan-esque drawl holding it together. They will be wrapping up their tour at the Freebutt on Sunday 14th March with special guest Spotlight Kid, who feature former members of Six By Seven, and local boys Welfare Mothers... In short it'll be a good one!
Tickets are on sale now.
