Bob Log III

Helmet on. Slide guitar screaming. Telephone receiver wired into his face. Rubber dinghies, toast flying through the crowd, distorted blues-punk chaos and one of the wildest live shows on the planet... Bob Log III returns to the UK and Ireland this August for a string of 13 dates.

"And then there's this guy named Bob Log, you ever heard of him? He's this little kid - nobody ever knows how old he is - wears a motorcycle helmet and he has a microphone inside of it and he puts the glass over the front so you can't see his face, and plays slide guitar. It's just the loudest strangest stuff you've ever heard. You don't understand one word he's saying. I like people who glue macaroni on to a piece of cardboard and paint it gold. That's what I aspire to basically" - Tom Waits

Part blues shaman, part rock'n'roll lunatic and entirely unlike anybody else touring today, Bob Log III has spent decades building a cult following across the globe with his jaw-dropping one-man-band performances. Armed with a beaten-up slide guitar, kick drums, homemade stage props and a full-face helmet rigged with an old-school telephone receiver, Bob Log creates a gloriously loud, weird and hypnotic racket somewhere between punk blues, backwoods rock'n'roll and total absurdist theatre.

His live shows have become the stuff of legend - featuring crowd-surfing in rubber boats, balloons, toasters, whiskey-fuelled audience interaction and some of the most ferocious slide guitar playing you'll ever witness. As The Guardian put it: "It is loud and strange and electrifying."

Whether you've seen him before or are about to experience the madness for the first time, Bob Log III is not a gig you simply watch - it's something you survive, laugh through and never forget.
