Event information
Oh yeah, Divine Schism bring HOUSE OF ALL to town!
No one was expecting the arrival of HOUSE Of ALL, a group comprised entirely of former members
of The Fall: Martin Bramah (vocals, guitar), Pete Greenway (guitar), Paul Hanley (drums, vocals),
Stephen Hanley (bass) and ‘Funky’ Si Wolstencroft (drums), Indeed, the first news of the group for
most was an article in The Guardian about a ‘scandal’ caused by Martin’s (technically accurate) use
of the phrase ‘a Fall family continuum’ to describe the band and its work, a piece which arrived in
tandem with news of the group’s HOUSE Of ALL album, which sold by the bucketload and received
tremendous praise from all corners.
A year later, CONTINUUM arrived, a long-player every bit as good as its predecessor. The boys toured
behind each record, as well as enjoying the odd one-off gig here and there to satiate fan demand.
After each studio albums, they released new fan-only compact disc / booklet packages loaded with
live tracks, remixes and radio sessions.
The group’s original pledge to open to other members of The Fall family has been kept with the
recent news of a third drummer, Karl Burns, who plays on their forthcoming third album, HOUSE Of
ALL SOULS, as well as Phil Lewis filling in live for Pete on live dates and playing on the new album,
too.
In perverse keeping with the band’s dark impulses, HOUSE Of ALL SOULS will be released on
Valentine’s Day, 2025 . . . precisely a month before the band sets off on a series of live dates
designed to surprise and inspire.
