11/12/2009 8:00 PM at (Thurs) Quiet Loner’s Journey To The Netherworld
The Gladstone, 64 Lant St, London, SE1 1QN
Cost: free
Matt Hill’s monthly residency at The Glad continues- Quiet Loner sings songs about love, infidelity, suicide, attempted murder, capital punishment, the database state, terrorism, religion, war, fallen angels, the secret rulers of the world, and the redemptive power of country music. His album has been described as having ’echoes of disparate bedfellows such as Gram Parsons and Elvis Costello’ by Classic Rock magazine and was voted album of the year by Americana-co.uk. He’s also very funny. Expect a truly apalling raffle, the tombola of song, and spirits of dead rock stars invoked. (Each month Quiet Loner builds a shrine to a dead rock star in the hope of invoking their spirit and summoning their ghost. For November Quiet Loner will be performing a special extended set of songs by the aforementioned Gram Parsons, the Flying Burritto Brother and trust-fund country singer, who made country cool simply by snorting cocaine with the Rolling stones. Of course country music was cool all along but the hippies needed Gram to explain it to them.)
Guest artist this evening is Neil McLarty of renowned country rock band Roseville Grand...
Music begins round eight thirty, food served all evening, bar open til eleven and entertainment guaranteed..
