Simon Finn: 40 Years The Distance
SIMON FINN
English psych-folk musician, Simon Finn, will be performing an exclusive London show at Cafe Oto in celebration of two important landmarks in his life - the 40th anniversary of 'Pass The Distance' and his 60th birthday. Originally released in the late 60s it was taken off the shelves due to legal action. The troubled LP made a remarkable comeback when re-released in 2004 on David Tibet's Durtro Records and has since attained legendary status. Known for his wildy hypnotic shows, the past decade has seen Finn return to music after a thirty-five year break. He has gone on to release many albums, been a member of Current 93 and began touring worldwide.
BLACK CARROT
Black Carrot are a vibrant quintet who perform new-wave krautrock jazz madness that oozes rock with a psychotic edge. Fierce and abstract yet serving the concept of the song, their sound nods towards Beefheart and Pere Ubu but is shot through with flavours of New York jazz skronk, and the loosest, funkiest Krautrock.
"Black Carrot truly are inspirational musicians" - Jean Hervé Peron/Faust
