The Butterfly’s Ball And The Grasshopper’s Feast
Twelve months on since their debut gig, THE WICKED WHISPERS curate another
of their delightfully-named THE BUTTERFLY’S BALL AND THE GRASSHOPPER’S
FEAST shows, returning with what must surely surely rank as their dream booking as
THE MAGIC BAND BAND headline. Captain Captain Beefheart’s legendary backing troupe are
only playing a handful of UK dates, so expect expect The Kazimier to be pitching and
rolling with the sound of the Psych Dukes’ mesmeric wizardry.
Since The Wicked Whispers’ first outing last year the psychedelic quintet
have released The Dark Delights Of… EP which neatly showed off their faintly
creepy Byrds-esque charms. Their key track Amanda Lavender, Lavender Lavender, replete with its
memorable video (a Snowdonia-shot, Prisoner-referencing clip starring Liverpool
model Charlotte Cooper), has received daytime airplay on BBC 6Music.
To summon up the right vibes for the event, transporting patrons back to the
UFO Club and the 14 Hour Technicolor Dream, lighting engineer Towyn Roberts,
who has previously worked with The Grateful Dead and The Coral, will be providing
visual magic. Also on the bill are exemplary psych-garage practitioners THE LUCID
DREAM, with tunes in-between sets courtesy of EDGAR JONES. With last year’s
event a sell-out, tickets will surely be like gold dust come the day of the gig.
