Pete Fij / Terry Bickers + Paul Handyside (Hurrah!) Adv Tkts £8 OTD £10 – Friday 10th
2014@7.30 – The Green Room, Stockton on Tees
Former Creation Records label mates Pete Fij (Adorable / Polak) & Terry Bickers (House of Love / Levitation) play an intimate gig in The Green Room in October.
Conjuring levels of intensity to match their more electrified combined musical pasts, their predominantly acoustic new album, Broken Heart Surgery, celebrates the downbeat and melancholic
with a wry humour and lyrical wit. Imagine Johnny Cash, Simon & Garfunkel & The Velvet
Underground jamming together at four in the morning. Quietly, so not to wake the neighbours. Terry Bickers’ guitar playing attests to why so many consider him to be the missing link between
Johnny Marr and Bernard Butler in the canon of great indie guitarists whilst vocalist Pete Fij, described by the Independent on Sunday as “The most under-rated lyricist since Jarvis Cocker last
put pen to paper”, confirms his credentials as a singer/songwriter to be reckoned with. Singer-songwriter Paul Handyside is the support act. Handyside was a founder member of eighties
indie popsters Hurrah! who released several albums on Kitchenware and Arista records. Handyside’s second solo album Wayward Son was released in 2013 on Malady Music.
