Ancient and Modern October: THE BLACK TWIG PICKERS & PROVINCIALS An unmissable evening of music from: THE BLACK TWIG PICKERS America's foremost exponents of old time music who also swing with punk and experimental currents... Over the course of eight full-length records, including collaborative releases with Jack Rose and Charlie Parr, a split LP with Glenn Jones, and numerous EPs and singles, the group has established itself as a collection of dedicated practioners of old time music re-cast and shaped by their appreciation of modern improvisation, drone, and punk. While not at odds with the experimental scene that has fostered them or the old time circles they travel in, The Black Twig Pickers thrive in the in-betweenness of those two worlds, proving that the exploration of the outmost bounds of sound and the exploration of decades old tradition and community aren't as different as one might think. PROVINCIALS Hampshire's Provincials charm their spontaneous songforms from the ether, conjuring a sound that recalls Charalambides at their most enchanted. Piano, guitar and vocals coalesce and disperse, not in some academic exercise but in melodic/emotive passages of channelled verse, hum, strum and chime. If it feels like spiritual music it probably is. £8 adv. £10 door
