Barry Adamson - Live at The Voodoo Rooms in Edinburgh
The
Voodoo Rooms is proud to present:
Barry Adamson
Tuesday 1 April 2008 8pm - 11.30am £18 The Voodoo Rooms 19a West Register St Edinburgh 0131 556 7060 http://www.thevoodoorooms.com/
The bassist who started his musical career with Magazine and went on to score David Lynch's Lost Highway, takes his sultry, enigmatic film noir soundtrack of an album, Back To The Cat, out on the road. Premiered live at the London Jazz Festival in November of last year, where Adamson was artist in residence, the album has been described as "a bit of jazz, a bit of funk with subtle brass riding on top. Music from the age when Sean Connery was the coolest guy on the planet who could get away with murder with a half smile on his face".
As befits the man who invented the idea of the imaginary soundtrack album with his 1988 solo debut Moss Side Story, every song is rendered in vivid widescreen, with a narrative as compulsive as an Alfred Hitchcock chiller. With a wicked sense of humour and a beady eye for detail, Barry charts the complexity and duplicity of human nature, often deliberately contrasting stories with sounds.
Doors 8pm, Barry Adamson will be on stage at 10pm. Tickets priced £18 are available now from The Voodoo Rooms, Ripping Records & Tickets Scotland. Online at http://www.ticketweb.co.uk. Credit card hotline 0131 220 3234.
