I went to a gig with Mike last night. More on the whole thing another time, I want to tell you about support act, Bruno & The Outrageous Methods Of Presentation.
Well, the last one and a half songs at least. Unfortunately, leaving work in Gloucestershire, getting home, picking up Mike and then making our way into Bristol, combined with the late breaking news that the entire show had a 10pm curfew (is that a thing now?) meant that we unfortunately missed the majority of Bruno & co's 30-minute set.
If the last six or seven minutes were anything to go by, it was a blistering set. But don't take my word for it, check out their London gig from earlier this year.
Suffice to say that I'll be digging back into the back catalogue. Main man Bruno Bof-Wilkinson has been making music since he was 13 (he's currently a sprightly 17) and has amassed dozens of releases on Bandcamp, including the 18-track magnum opus The Sad, Sad World Of Eden Kane in February. All available as name your price purchases too, if you needed further incentive.
Oh, and for vinyl lovers, there's a 7" release of Just Sitting Around / Special Edition available at Rough Trade featuring Zak Starkey and Glen Matlock, no less.
I'm still convinced Bruno thought he was a tree stump...
ReplyDeleteWho's to say that he isn't, Mike?
