Acoustic Ladyland are set to embark on a regional tour this October, bringing their fiercely unique take on skewed, rabble-rousing Jazz to folks up and down the country, while previewing brand new material in preparation for their next studio album.
These gigs will also be the exclusive outlets for the first ever Acoustic Ladyland live album, A.L.IVE.
The tracklisting is:
Promises Promises
Skinny Grin
The Rise
High Heel Blues
Paris
Salt Water
Road of Bones/Om Konz
With their legion of fans including discerning types from Scott Walker to The Mighty Boosh, experiencing Acoustic Ladyland live comes highly recommended.
Bonding over a mutual distaste for musical sterility and an inclination toward the more exciting and dangerous end of modern music, Acoustic Ladyland have been blowing minds since their inception in 2001. The band is Pete Wareham (saxophone/vocals) with Seb Rochford (drums), Ruth Goller (bass) and Tom Cawley (keys).
Since the album Skinny Grin was released to thunderous critical acclaim in December last year, the band have been keeping busy with various projects: Pete appears on the forthcoming Supergrass album, while Seb has been featured with Mercury-nominated Basquiat Strings, and they have also been busy recording the new Polar Bear album ( due soon) and touring with Fulborn Teversham.
