Lineup and details for The Blessing on Monday 11th February 2008
The Blessing was formed in 2000 to
share a fascination with improvised music, a pathological distrust of chords and
a passion for North African cuisine. They started out playing the music of
Ornette Coleman but began slowly to make a noise of their own. They began to
write tunes and a turning point came in 2006 when they finally got in the studio
and a new sound emerged almost overnight. Their new approach has much in common
with the current crop of trailblazers - bands such as EST, Polar Bear and
Acoustic Ladyland - and draws from influences as diverse as the Kings of Leon,
Morphine, Elvis Costello and Albert Ayler. “The idea was to get stuck into ‘proper’
improvisation rather than to rely upon a coasting rhythm section” explains bassist Jim
Barr.
