Sat 24th The Luminaire presents THE FRANK & WALTERS + Pilotlight
Doors 7.30
The Frank & Walters did their first gig on October 14th 1989, a full 26 days before 'The Wall' came down. Although both events were considered seismic to their respective viewing audiences (43, De Barra's Clonakilty / 1 billion, worldwide TV) the events cannot be verifiably linked, the number 26 would however make some curious appearances in the long and glorious history of the band. Take five studio albums, one 'Best Of', one retrospective triple album of rarities and remixes, one book, one live dvd, 14 EPs, two remaining original founding members and one ex-female keyboard player who used to double up as a wedding dress model, add them together and what do you get? 26. Coincidence or something more sinister? I think we all know the answer to that. “A Renewed Interest In Happiness” by The Frank and Walters tells us that everything is going to be OK. It is an antidote to the trials and tribulations we all face. Questions and answers beautifully packaged in unforgettably perfect melodies. Expect the same from their live show. Support comes from Pilotlight. Just back from recording their debut album in France's Black Box Studios with producer David Odlum (Gemma Hayes, The Frames, The Redneck Manifesto) and following the success of single 'Headstart' in Ireland this is Dublin-born, London-based Pilotlight's first of many UK gigs this year. "The band create a celestial noise that is emotional without being overwrought." - musicomh.com |
