Overview
The Very Things, a post-punk band from Redditch, return to live performance at Gullivers in Manchester, with original members, new songs and special guests. The concert marks their first live shows in 40 years.
The Very Things are a UK post-punk band from Redditch, active since 1983. Their debut album, The Bushes Scream While My Daddy Prunes, came out in 1984, and This Is Motortown is another of their records. Their music mixes angular rhythms, cinematic textures and a streak of absurdist comedy.
Led by principal songwriter RR Dallaway, the group returns with original members Disney Time on drums and Steven Burrows on bass and guitar, while Tony Sherrard joins on bass and keyboards. For these shows, special guests Svor Naan of The Cravats, Allan Murphy of Midwich Youth Club and Julia Wilcox join them. The set draws on the new record, Mr. Arc-Eye (under a cellophane sky), and the band's cult back catalogue.
These are the band's first live performances in 40 years, under the name The Very Things GXL. Gullivers, the Manchester venue staging the night, is a concert and performance venue.
