BEEFHEART

To celebrate Captain Beefheart and his life on Earth, Robyn Hitchcock and the Imaginary Band will perform the album 'Clear Spot' and a few other Beefheart compositions at the Garage, London, June 3th and Wychwood Festival, Cheltenham, June 4th. "In the early Soft Boys we tried to cross Abbey Road  with Trout Mask Replica", says Robyn: "It didn't always work but it was some hybrid. The most exciting show I've ever seen was Beefheart and The Magic Band in 1973. This won't be as accurate as the John French/Magic Band gigs a few years back, but Clear Spot is quite a party album, and we're planning to have quite a party". The Imaginary Band will be Paul Noble and Terry Edwards on guitars and bass, Jenny Adejayan on cello, and Stephen Irvine on drums.
