Gig: No-Fi Present: Racoo-Oo-Oon
10 Mar 2007, 8 p.m.
Raccoo-oo-oon, a US four-piece described by Volcanic Tongue as "somewhere between New Wave Fall-style bubblegum estates, bent Butthole Surfers-esque acid-jam mania and spaced American Primitive imaginings a la Jim O'Rourke circa Eureka", and with a new album out on Troubleman around the time of this show. Something tells us they're in for a good year. In support we have Last Of The Real Hardmen, the solo forays of Chris Summerlin (from Nottingham's magnificent Lords). 2006 saw Chris release his '10,000 Miles' album to much acclaim, and he's since added Patrick Farmer (The Good Anna, Designer Babies) on drums - expect spaced-out primitive guitar journeys and strung-out waster blues.
