Event information

Heaven's Gate are delighted to present, for the music loving community of Liverpool and Merseyside, a fantastic joint headline show featuring the amazing Curse Of Lono and a very welcome and long overdue return to their home town for the wonderful The Grande.

What a way to finish the second year of Heaven's Gate gigs - time to party!

Acclaimed London five-piece Curse Of Lono released their second album ‘As I Fell’ on August
17th. The album entered the Official Americana Album Charts at No. 10 and the Official
Independent Albums Breakers Chart at No. 15.

Produced by Oli Bayston (Boxed In) at Rancho V, a remote desert studio in Joshua Tree, and
Flesh & Bone Studios in Hackney, the album is accompanied by a mini-documentary 'Somewhere
In Their Heads' by Gregg Houston ( Noel Gallagher, Two Door Cinema Club, Michael Kiwanuka,
Foy Vance), which recently won Best Short Documentary at the LA Edge Film Festival, the
Jukebox Film Festival in Nevada, Feel The Reel International Film Festival in Glasgow, Changing
Face International Film Festival in Sydney, The Hollywood Sun Awards in California and the Cult
Critic Film Festival in India.

‘ As I Fell’ is the follow-up to ‘Severed’, one of the most critically acclaimed debuts of 2017, and
builds on Curse Of Lono’s deeply cinematic blend of harmony-laden Americana and driving, gothic
alt-rock. It’s a sound that owes as much to old faithfuls like The Doors and The Velvet
Underground as it does to more modern practitioners of the form such as The War On Drugs and
Wilco.

Curse Of Lono completed their first UK headline tour in May, including a sold-out show at
London’s Lexington, and appeared at several UK Festivals this summer as well as supporting
Steve Earle, Southside Johnny, Cordovas and David Ramirez on separate European tours.
They will be embarking on a second UK headline tour in November/December.

Firmly immersed in Americana & Alt. Country, The Grande deal in heartfelt, bittersweet songwriting, described by The Sunday Times as "an intriguing Americana tinged ambience”

Sharing songwriting duties, Ben Sherwen & Olly Neasham wear their heart on their sleeve from the first word to the last whilst drawing on timeless influences such as The Band, Neil Young & Ryan Adams along the way but always staying true to The Grande’s roots.

Autumn 2018 finds The Grande retreating to their subterranean studio to began work on a fourth album (due 2019).
