| Lloyd Cole with support by St Vitus Dance | |||
| Friday May 1
The Black Box, 8.00pm |

Through both his lauded work fronting The Commotions and his more eclectic solo efforts, Lloyd Cole established himself as one of the most articulate and acute songwriters of the post-punk era. The uncommon quality of Cole’s songwriting earned The Commotions a contract with British Polydor, and in 1984, they debuted with Rattlesnakes, a wry, heartfelt record of jangling guitar pop stuffed with references to the likes of Jules et Jim, Simone de Beauvoir, Norman Mailer, and On the Waterfront. He’s since gone on to have a hugely successful career, well documented with the release of a new 4CD box set Cleaning Out The Ashtrays. “A strangely compelling musical figure, stll a tousled romantic, still caring about Cohen and Camus and Reed, still crafting killer melodies.” MOJO Local legends, St Vitus Dance have returned after an extended hiatus with the critically acclaimed Glypotheque.
