Fire Records are proud to present a special on-off reunion show from Medway icons THE LEN BRIGHT COMBO, featuring the talents of the one and only WRECKLESS ERIC with rhythm section from the amazing Russ Wilkins and Bruce Band (from Billy Childish's The Milkshakes). The show is a celebration of Fire's reissues of the rare and much sought after recordings of The Len Bright Combo Presents and Combo Time, which are due for release on 9 December.
Putting today's garage pretenders to shame, the Combo recorded two albums of rough and ready pop blasts in the mid-80s, with the shake and stomp never losing Eric's sharp wit, or melodic punch. These records contain many of his strongest songs, giving his iconic hit "(I'd Go The) Whole Wide World" a run for it's money.
Support comes from London-based musician and artist Mathew Sawyer, whose new album Sleep Dreamt A Brother is out now on Fire Records. The album is filled with mournful, lush arrangements that sound almost medieval at times with stark strings, classical guitar and piano overlaid by Sawyer’s bare, distinctive vocals and creepy foley sound effects.
Tickets - £10.00 in advance, £12.00 on the door.
