Rough Trade East In-store - CHRIS AND COSEY IN CONVERSATION WITH THE QUIETUS' LUKE TURNER - Tuesday 27th November, 7pm 27/11/2012

NO WRISTBAND NEEDED, JUST COME DOWN ON THE NIGHT.

This is a two album release celebrating both the progress inherent in change and the fulfillment of two exceptional, yet separate projects.
The 'Desertshore' project is a 're-imagined' cover version of Nico's seminal 1970 album first conceived by the late Peter 'Sleazy' Christopherson in Berlin 2006. In 2010 at his home in Bangkok, he refocussed his approach readying to record guest vocalists while Chris and Cosey prepared material in their UK studio for his return there in December. Sadly, Sleazy unexpectedly died in his sleep on the 25th November in Bangkok.

Chris and Cosey made a commitment to Sleazy to complete the 'Desertshore' project picking up from where they left off just prior to his untimely passing. With enthusiastic support and contributions from so many who were close to Sleazy, especially the guest artistes whose work he admired; Antony, Marc Almond, Blixa Bargeld, Sasha Grey and Gaspar No, the project is now complete.

"a quite remarkable set of songs, a repurposing of Nico's maudlin, scraping sorrow into the deep mindmassaging electronics that characterised later live work by Throbbing Gristle, X-TG and Carter Tutti,arguably even Coil's Ape Of Naples." Luke Turner for The Quietus as part of a review of a live remix preview performance of 'Desertshore' at AV Festival 2012.

The Final Report - Throughout their 36 year friendship Chris Carter, Peter 'Sleazy' Christopherson and Cosey Fanni Tutti produced many pioneering and acclaimed collaborative works together. These trio sessions were without exception always very productive; ideas that produced many hours of recordings, sound experiments, research in new performance possibilities, visuals, the ongoing design and building of new and innovative instruments; a constant restless exploration of new paths together.

'The Final Report' album has been completed from their final 2009/2010 sessions together at Chris and Cosey's studio inNorfolk. This album stands as the final report; a celebration, a loving remembrance of their unique partnership.

Rough Trade East In-store - VIV ALBERTINE - Monday 12th November, 7pm

BUY VIV ALBERTINE'S DEBUT SOLO ALBUM 'THE VERMILION BORDER' ON THE DAY OF THE IN-STORE AT ROUGH TRADE EAST AND COLLECT YOUR WRISTBAND AT THE SAME TIME, ANY REMAINING WRISTBANDS WILL BE GIVEN OUT 1 HOUR PRIOR TO THE STAGE TIME...ONE PER PERSON

"Viv Albertine made a place for girls in music before girl became grrrl" - Courtney Love

"Viv doesn't so much turn back time as stop the clock all together!" - Thurston Moore, Sonic Youth

"Turns every comfort and assumption you hold on its head" - Carrie Brownstein, Sleater Keaney

After twenty five years away from music, influential guitarist and songwriter, Viv Albertine, releases her first solo album 'The Vermilion Border' - out 5th November 2012 through Cadiz Music. The album features a renowned bass player on each track, and even reunites Viv with Mick Jones of The Clash, who plays guitar on 'Confessions of a MILF'.

Viv's former group, The Slits, were one of the first bands from the 'Punk' era to draw on - and tour with - different musical genres, and filter them through their music, especially reggae, improvised jazz and free improvisation. The band are considered to be the forerunners of 'post punk' and the riot grrrl movements and they - and Viv's guitar playing - have also been cited as an influence on many bands from Gang of Four, Sonic Youth, The Beastie Boys, Tricky and Massive Attack, to new bands such as Chapter 24 and Warpaint.
