Introducing MEMORIALS: a new band featuring Verity Susman (Electrelane) and Matthew Simms (Wire). The duo juggle instruments to make music that travels between melodic songwriting, psychedelic noise, free jazz freakouts and tape loops…
They opened up for the one and only Stereolab in London last year, and now they perform a headline set right here in Ramsgate on May 21st!
Memorials is the new band of Verity Susman (Electrelane’s frontwoman) and Matthew Simms (Wire, Better Corners, It Hugs Back, UUUU). As a duo these multi-instrumentalists cover plenty of ground onstage, juggling instruments in a set up resembling that of a 5-piece band. Their sound touches on the many points for which they are known, veering from melodic songwriting to psychedelic noise, free jazz freakouts, tape loops and drones, and then back again. Their first album is coming soon…
