Exploding Flowers + Rachel Love + Jowe Head's Infernal Trinity

About

A fantastic triple bill featuring.... RACHEL LOVE - founding member of the seminal late-70’s/early-80s English group, Dolly Mixture (signed to Paul Weller’s label and championed by the Undertones and John Peel). Her own work follows similar lines with distinct songwriting and melodies as well as collaborations with Martin Newell (Cleaners From Venus) and Railcard (w/ members of Heavenly, Razorcuts, and Swansea Sound). EXPLODING FLOWERS are an LA quartet who've crafted their own universe of guitar-based pop, with flourishes of piano, organ, synthesizers, and vibraphone on top of a foundational rhythm section. Led by Sharif Dumani who has worked with Alice Bag, Cody Chesnutt, Nick Garrie, Nikki Sudden etc they also feature Josh Mancell (Cell\\Borg), Happy Tsugawa-Banta (Lassie Foundation), and Mark Sogomian (The Moon Upstairs). With releases on Meritorio Records, they have been compared to everything from Big Star to the Soft Boys and explore some similar territory but expand to occupy their own space in that landscape. JOWE HEAD'S INFERNAL TRINITY is best known for his work as a founding member of the highly influential, pioneering "post-punk" / "alternative rock" band Swell Maps. He's also known for his work with cult-favourites Television Personalities. His new group Infernal Trinity continues the experimental approach to post-punk from his previous projects. He's joined for this performance by Kathryn Davies (accordion), and Catherine Gerbrands (bowed saw, electronica)."
