Snowball Music present: Denis Jones

Event information

‘Scuzzy Mancunian blues at its richest and, most intriguing’ – The Guardian

‘Logical, eardrum-massaging, heart-stirring sonic harmony’ – Drowned In Sound

Snowball Music invite you to join Denis Jones at his biggest London show to date.

With his second album, Red + Yellow = (released on Humble Soul), Denis Jones has at last managed to capture the intensity of his live performances in a studio environment, working with various engineers and finalising the recording and mixing at Airtight Studios with Tom Knott (The Earlies). The album was preceded by a limited edition 10-inch EP featuring remixes by Paddy Steer and Graham Massey.

Denis has, over the past three years, developed a show-stopping live performance based around the core of his exceptional and unique guitar-playing style and rich, soulful voice. Using a loop station and all manner of samplers and effects, Denis creates vast, complex orchestrations of beat-box rhythms, multi-layered vocals and other-wordly sounds, which veer from subtle heart-wrenching folk and blues to heavy bass-driven electronica.

Support from Golden Fable - Rebbecca Palin and Tim McIver were the driving force behind cult group Tim & Sam's Tim & The Sam Band. After a heavy touring schedule, a highly acclaimed album and many radio sessions, the duo decided that it was time for a new challenge - Golden Fable was born.

Set up at their home studio in North Wales, dozens of songs were whittled down to a self-produced eleven track LP that is ready for release early in 2012.

It’s their first London show ahead of debut single ‘Chill Pt.2’ - the multi-instrumentalists bring you quirky beats, layered synths and loop station wizardry. This is lo-fi, folk-tinged pop that picks you up and takes you to another place.

Silent Devices open with ‘beautifully sparse post-rock – like Sigur Ros indulging Thom Yorke’s musical fantasies’.
