Dim Wizard & Nathy SG

Event information

The Mean Eyed Cat in association with Cowie Jaw Recordings LTD are so excited to be bringing Washington, D.C.’s very own DIM WIZARD to Newcastle as part of their upcoming UK tour. This is the new project from songwriter David Combs (Bad Moves; The Max Levine Ensemble; Spoonboy) and it is really fucking great. Support comes from Durham’s prodigal idiot Nathy SG (aka me, the person writing this), at which point he (I) will be fresh from having entered his (my) fifth decade on this cursed planet- I (he) will be backed by the full nathy band lineup (no rehearsal? No problem!)

“It’s tempting to call David Combs a pop scientist. From his work in the ebullient D.C. power pop band Bad Moves to his work as Dim Wizard, Combs’s songs are so tightly crafted and explosively catchy, it feels like they were made by carefully tipping test tubes into beakers and making precise notations in a spreadsheet entitled GOOD HOOKS. However, as the name itself suggests, Dim Wizard proves that Combs is more alchemist than scientist, combining ingredients to create something completely unexpected and magical. In the studio, Dim Wizard is a collaborative recording process where he brings musicians, songwriters, and producers together to all contribute to a single song. On the road, Combs assembles a group of local friends to perform an interpretation of the same songs–each one unique. Every Dim Wizard show, like every Dim Wizard song, is a true one-of-one, a moment in time when like minded musicians get together, pour all their ideas into a cauldron, and stir until it forms something surprising and, invariably, catchy as hell.”
