The Jack Cades, The Last of The Lovely Days and more, Sat 21 Nov

For lovers of psychedelia, garage rock and out-there alt-folk the Eight Mile High Club have a great line-up coming to the Prince Albert in November.

The Jack Cades , from Stratford-upon-Avon, have been performing for the best part of a decade and released ‘Fade In’ their fourth long player collection of smart and sharp modern psychedlia earlier this year. The album comprises a dozen gorgeous songs of perfect 60s-inspired garage rock, all with a modern indie twist. To my ears, Fade In is their best record yet and the album was released in both Sweden and France where they seem to have a bit of a cult following.

Now expanded to a five-piece The Jack Cades recorded the album at Gizzard Studios in London and it retains the band’s love for a pure and simple analogue sound, reflecting the 60s influences that shine through in their music. Husband and wife team Mike and Elsa Whittaker borrowed their band name from the road they were living in when they formed the band, but they were not displeased to later find out it came from a 15th century English rebel, in keeping with that garage-rock indie sensibility. If you like that Pebbles garage sound, with plenty of harmonies and dynamic guitar, and a rhythm section that will keep you moving all night, you won’t want to miss this latest visit to Brighton by the band.

Support on November 21st comes first from Brighton’s The Last of the Lovely Days who play a gorgeous concoction of 80s/90s indie pop, led by the super-sweet vocals of Annie O’Rourke. Their album ‘No Public House Talk’ came out a year ago on Gare Du Nord records, “one of the indie pop albums of the year” (Penny Black) and reveals “the melodic confidence of The Smiths or maybe the Yardbirds, filtered through a 21st century lens” (RnR), “lyrically sharp and musically spry” (Shindig magazine).

Also playing is alternative folksinger Bity Booker, who has a new album to promote in the enchanting ‘There’s No Song About a Stone’. If you’ve never seen Bity before make sure you get in early, because her beautiful and unusual songs about South London, people and birds, played on a simple classical guitar and sung in an extrordinary voice which draws influences from both her Italian and Death Metal backgrounds, create a unique musical experience that is not easily forgotten.
