Dick Valentine

The American Troubadour, Dick Valentine of Electric Six, returns to the UK in September and October for a run of intimate solo acoustic shows in support of his brand new solo record Anxiety Dogs, which will be sold directly out of HIS BAG. Reach into Dick Valentine’s bag for exciting new music….reach into Dick Valentine himself for the answer to each and every one of the riddles that haunts you.

An evening with Dick Valentine takes you on a tender, heartfelt journey through the Electric Six catalog, his solo catalog and the occasional cover song. Acoustic performers come and go…Dick Valentine is eternal. If the show was no good, he wouldn’t have been invited back year after year for the last twenty years. Anxiety Dogs is Valentine’s magnum opus and it belongs in your collection if you want your life to have any sort of purpose. Come for the musical excellence, stay for the merriment and good times. Meet and greet Dick Valentine before, during and after the show. He will take you to the gay bar, he is the dance commander…and he is the Johnny Cash of the United Kingdom. Seriously.

LUCIGENIC

Following release of their First Album ‘ Silence Counts for Nothing’ last October, Mcr locals LUCIGENIC are fast gaining recognition with live shows across the UK and are hot off the heels from their recent Kendal Calling performance . LUCIGENIC's music is delicate yet defiant, melodic yet raw. Their sound evokes a modern Velvet Underground through Mazzy Star melancholy and Brian Jonestown Massacre psychedelia — swirling ethereal vocals with brooding guitars that refuse to sit still.
