The Gig I'm playing monday 8th/Tim Bowness' al***

Posted by: Stephen Bennett on 05 November 2004

Hi all

I'd previously posted about an album I've just finished working on which was released last week on One Little Indian (http://www.indian.co.uk/timbowness/) - Tim Bowness' 'My Hotel Year'.

We're doing a gig at the spitz in Spittalfields, London (www.spitz.co.uk) Monday night. If any of you do come, please come over and say hello. (I'm the un-bearded keyboards man)

Regards

Stephen

Gig: Band list and times

Gamine - 8.20-8.40
Roger Eno - 8.50-9.10
Tim Bowness/band - 9.20-10.05
Rothko - 10.15-10.45



This was the OLI press release, for those interested:

'Calling all fans of Bowie, Sylvian, This Mortal Coil and the quintessential 4AD sound, Hammill, Walker, Drake, Tim Buckley, Eno, Marks Hollis and Eitzel, Portishead, Red House Painters and existential introspection set to a smorgasbord of 21st century beats - upbeat, downbeat or simply a heartbeat.'

Sunday Times review, Sunday 31st October 2004

'Tim Bowness, one half of the minimalist
miserablists No-Man, captures such sentiments unblinkingly on a superb album that is all sighed vocals, exposed, vaguely creepy piano motifs and lyrics marooned in self-absorption and regret. Too often this sort of approach
makes you want to scream and reach for the remote. Bowness, though, pitches it just right: emotions are raw and stripped bare.'

Bummer! We're booked up for Monday (doing the Local Pub Quiz night with Mr Davey)!

Any other night I could have made it.

BTW when is the new Fool album due? Or are you doing a Blue Nile and leaving several years between releases?

That's life:-)

Fool is looking better than it was (I know Nick doesn't believe me) but we've been writing and hope to get something together early 2005.

I'm not going to hold my breath though!

Good luck in the quiz

Regards

Good luck with the gig Stephen.

I preferred 'Blatant Self Promotion' as an attention grabber.

John.

I'd done that one!

Thanks J.N.

Did you enjoy the BS evening on Thursday? I could't make it, unfortunately.
