Event information
Scott Lavene is as English as pork pies and pasties, dunked biscuits in Yorkshire tea. Last year's album "Disneyland in Dagenham" was full of Essex, East End poetry, and classic English post punk. Following extensive touring including many sold-out shows, Scott is back with another album entitled "Cars, Buses, Bedsits and Shops"; an album bursting with more dark humour, snapshots of squalor and cheek, and Scott's unique love songs.
Produced by Stew Jackson, who's worked with Massive Attack, Black Crowes, Tom Waits and Nick Cave, the record shines with Scott's presence, alongside Ryan Rogers of Mumble Tide, co-producing and playing organs, synths and mellotron. The album came together quickly, in a five-day wonder, in Bristol, September 2024. Scott's longer story-based songs have taken a backseat on this record with more singing than before and a higher percentage of ballads, sincere, wistful and tender. They evoke the lyrics and feelings set down by Daniel Johnston and The Magnetic Fields, Evan Dando and the immense David Berman. But a few ratty stories still remain.
Price includes a 50p venue levy
