Lineup and details for David Thomas Broughton (W/ Padang Food Tigers) on Tuesday 1st June 2010
DAVID THOMAS BROUGHTON
http://www.myspace.com/davidthomasbroughton
Over the past few years, David Thomas Brouhton has been making waves with his unique and distinct approach to folk music. When Broughton performs its a story of incompletion and insecurity. As his songs ponder the difficulties of relationships, the awkwardness of emotion, he plays the same games with the audience. A pause mid-song to brush off his knee, or to rearrange his belongings on the floor: Layers of melody are slowly built, soar, whistle then fizzle as does a kettle on a stove.
Combining luscious and often haunting vocals with improvised spontaneity, his baffling genius has been dividing opinion on the UK and European live circuit since 2005. A new album coming out in May 2011 will be released worldwide.
"The most brilliant and baffling show Im likely to see this year" Hank Schteamer, Time Out New York
"David Thomas Broughton = an actual, honest-to-god, straight up genius." The Internet Sleeps Sundays, review of End of the Road Festival 2009
PADANG FOOD TIGERS
http://www.myspace.com/padangfoodtigers
Padang Food Tigers: mappings of the Ma, improvised micro-constellations of strings and ivory, picnic basking and kicking back in natures throne room. First scent of a long-travelled whisper, scattered remnants of once powerful civilizations now mere corpse carriers for fallen empires. Heres your dismantling of tradition, the fragile second chance for a never-coming cosmic re-birth. Padang Food Tigers are barely there, yet potent, delivering a reductionist waltz, a kiss off to passing time on the feathered crests of a taraxacums crown.
