We're pleased to welcome back our old pals Strangefruit, playing their first London show in flippin ages.
“Strangefruit are about great music, great songs, that’s it…” Jamie Perrett,
Strangefruit have taken their favourite, most affecting parts from plangent folk and vintage jazz, fuzzed-out psychedelia and crunchy indie-rock and created something that sounds quite startling, quite unlike anything you have ever heard. There is serious history here, a band who honed their sound playing long hours in Dalston’s Jazz Bar, a band in love with the spirit of Bob Dylan and Billie Holiday, with the freedom of Fairport Convention and the Velvet Underground, the soul of Mary Margaret O’Hara and Patti Smith, the attack of Arcade Fire, the vision of David Lynch. “We like music with soul and passion,” Will says. “It doesn’t matter what era it’s from, as long as it has bite.”

Message from Strangefruit .......
"Since we last saw you, we've recorded our first single - in Abbey Road - where we were also the subject of a documentary... We've been writing lots of new songs (some of which we'll debut at this gig) and have been getting ready to release our EP - 'Between The Earth And Sea' - coming soon! Look forward to seeing you on the 25th!!"
