It’s only taken them 6 albums, a load of US tours, several Australian tours a Tzadik Masada release and a whole load of really cool 7″‘s, but the Secret Chiefs 3 are FINALLY coming to the UK!
To add to my excitment, the best band ever are playing at the best venue ever; Cargo in Shoreditch, London; with its bizzare set of pipes and odd outdoor sitting area gardeny thing making a perfect setting for the show.
Support for the Chiefs comes in the shape of Italian Avant weirdos Zu and amazing ambient noise masters SkullFlower. So this is shaping up to be quite the night!
Now, some of you may remember back in our interview with ‘frontman’ Trey on the podcast he did mention that the group were planning on doing a whole European tour, so we’ll keep you posted on that as we hear about it!
Anyway, go get your tickets for the show, which is taking place on the 16th September, here.
Great. All I have to do is go to London (urgh) and stay in a hotel (expensive) or make friends with someone who lives there (urgh) and I can go and see them. I know that Lonodn is where the best chances of recoupment exist for “obscure” bands like SC3 to tour (outside of the US) but why is it always London or Glasgow. Bah.
They are also playing in Bristol and Birmingham, that any good for you?
YES! Playing twice in Paris!
I’ve just checked the WoM listings and it doesn’t say they’re in Birmingham but if they are that would be considerably better news. Do you know when and where ?
