Description
Coming
out of hibernation to play together for the first time in over 2 years,
ex-Creation records refugees Pete Fij (Adorable / Polak) & Terry
Bickers (House of Love / Levitation) will perform their first ever
'remote' show at Worthing's Cellar Arts Club streaming directly to you
online and followed by a live Q&A.
Bickers
& Fij have combined to make sweet melancholic music, to widespread
critical acclaim, gaining many ‘Album of The Year’ nominations, and live
appearances on BBC Radio 4, BBC 5Live & BBC 6Music.
Described
as like a late night jamming session with Johnny Cash, Velvet
Underground & The Everley Brothers trying not to wake the
neighbours, their sound of cheerful melancholia has never sounded quite
so apt as in these strange times, blending humour and resilience with
fragile vulnerability. Their albums and live shows have shown how these
two indie musicians have transitioned into intelligent literate alt
country artists, and reminded people just why Bickers has been compared
to Johnny Marr and Bernard Butler by the likes of the NME with his
sublime guitar playing, and why his cohort Fij was described by the
Independent as “the most underrated lyricist since Jarvis Cocker last
put pen to paper”.
“Minor
key, acoustic introspection (Hawley, Lloyd Cole-ish) done so
beautifully it’s as if they’re singing to one another in the dustlight
of a pub back room; strumming, crooning, nursing collective memories.”
MOJO
“Unfailingly lovely late night reflections” UNCUT
“A sweetly gloomy affair...an uplifting reminder that it really is never too late to get your band together” Q
“Deceptively
simple, direct, beautifully constructed and timeless odes to love and
dreams, lost and still bubbling and refined it with an English approach
to song writing that takes the influences of Roy Orbison, and Scott
Walker.”
