We are delighted to welcome Selector Dub Narcotic
(Calvin Johnson) & Catenary Wires (Amelia Fletcher and Rob
Pursey of Heavenly / Talulah Gosh) to the Tom Thumb.
Selector
Dub Narcotic is the current moniker of the
inimitable Calvin Johnson (Beat Happening / K Records). Based
in Olympia, Wash., Calvin Johnson's is an iconic and celebrated
force in underground culture: a guitarist, vocalist,
songwriter, music producer, disc jockey, zine-maker. Founding
member of Cool Rays, Beat Happening and The Go Team. Founder and
owner of K Records (Beck, Bikini Kill, Modest Mouse). In short, a
major player in the emergence of the DIY scene.
He
will be joined by the wonderful Catenary Wires, aka Amelia Fletcher
and Rob Pursey, protagonists of some of the best indie-pop songs in
the last 30 years. From Talulah Gosh to Tender Trap, via Heavenly
and Marine Research, the duo make gorgeous pop,
buoyed by swooning melodies and steered by whip-smart
words.
This
is an all ages show.
