Melting Vinyl: The Handsome Family + Frontier Ruckus
Sorry, this event has sold out
Doors at 7pm
Starts at 8pm
The Handsome Family (songwriting and marriage partners Brett and Rennie Sparks) have been defining the dark end of americana for over 30 years. Brett writes the music and Rennie writes the words. Their work has been covered by many artists including Jeff Tweedy, Andrew Bird and most-recently Phoebe Bridgers. Their song “Far From Any Road” was the opening theme for HBO’s True Detective season one and still receives thousands of Shazams every week from all over the world. Their eleventh studio album, Hollow (out now on Loose) delves into the natural world at the edges of the man-made. It is a record lush with leaves and shadows and echoing with occult mystery.‘You can set your watch by their reliably weird charm’ – The Skinny
Support comes from the wonderful Frontier Ruckus. A folk-rock trio with classy interplay between the instruments and clear harmonies, Frontier Ruckus' captivating songwriting and arrangements mesmerisingly sweep and soar.
