Clogs And The Books

Sat 28 January 2006 // 19:30
(Sat 28th / 7.30pm / £10 advance)
Cult American bands Clogs and The Books come together for their first major UK tour and a one-off musical collaboration. From the immediacy of folk music through twisted Americana to the complexity of modernism, Clogs and The Books invite you to sample their strange and wonderous fruit.
Mavericks The Books create hypnotic collages of found sounds and sampled voices and videos, with sliced-and-diced cello, violin and picked banjo; meanwhile instrumental four-piece Clogs walk the fine line between 21st-century chamber music, avant rock, and world folk, coming out of the concert hall with the mindset of a rock band.
Both bands perform individually and then together to create a freewheeling concoction of romantic minimalist improv, cut up indie bluegrass and glitch postanything folktronica.
