5th April – Curtis Eller’s American Circus/Sieben (£10/£8)
The wild-eyed vaudevillian’s banjo-driven songs describe a dreamlike vision of American history where all points in time have collapsed into one. The band has spent a year sharpening their skills in the burlesque houses, beer halls and underground theatres of the Carolina Piedmont, and will be supported by the ethereal sound-layers of a dream by Sieben.
