He will be performing with a 30-piece ensemble, including his regular touring band, a string and horn section and a children's choir.

Tickets for the hammersmith shows ar priced at £45, £55 and £60 and are available online at www.livenation.cvo.uk or www.ticketmaster.co.uk

For the full story of Lou and Berlin, see the exclusive interview in this month's Uncut.


I bet it's going to be rubbish.


Don't care, I'm so going. I want to hear him do Lady Day and Oh Jim. I think it'll be good. I hope by "his regular touring band" they mean Antony.

Now if someone can only get Bowie to re-create one of his old records live I'll be happy as a fucking clam.

I saw him recreate Low about four or five years ago. Dull as the proverbial ditchwater.

Was that at the Meltdown he curated? I didn't go to any of those shows that year.

It'd have to be an older record than Low anyway. I'd insist upon it.

I think Hunky Dory would make a nice evenings concert.

I'm currently having a torrid love affair with Rameses III's music, so I shall probably go to this just to see them.

It was at Meltdown, yes. Some friends of mine were outraged by my thinking it was crap, but I stick by my opinion.

FUCK FUCK FUCK! I've only just found out that Fennesz played in London last night. These tears I cry are real.

Did anyone go to this gig? Damnit!

Monday March 12th
TIGHT MEAT DUO
tight meat is the horse-killing duo of alex neilson on drums and david keenan on saxophone. committed to the kind of revolutionary praxis that would combine walter de maria and hasil adkins’ time-humping techniques with the sound of european steel, gospelised free jazz white out and phonetically primitive power stomps. both are also members of glasgow-based heroes taurpis tula.
PHIL MINTON
legendary feral singer/improviser who has worked with fred frith, derek bailey peter brotzmann and many many others.
HUSH ARBORS
aka keith wood, regular member of sunburned hand of the man, current 93 and collaborator with six organs of admittance and wooden wand amongst others.

unluck recs present

JAMES BLACKSHAW
Consisting of mainly solo 12-string acoustic guitar, played in a finger-picked style not too dissimilar to Robbie Basho, perhaps Blackshaw's biggest inspiration, James Blackshaw has devised new tunings and new techniques. Blackshaw traverses between Eastern and Western scales; simple and incredibly intricate picking patterns; waves of fast, powerful rolls and glass-fragile harmonics. Released on Important Records and Bo Weavil.

BLUE SABBATH BLACK FIJI
French noise-guitar love-duo who remind of magik markers / bill nace style whitewash freakouts

AUM SAHIB
Wig-out jams from London sonic mob

LUMPS
Manchester twosome who like free singing / tape loops / guitar crash. members of stuckometer

Wednesday March 28th
Horse and Groom, Curtain Road, London
8pm, four pounds
