A
event
held at The Cube
on Saturday 29th March. The event starts at 20:00.
As his American Circus roll into town on the back of the powder keg that is their latest phonographic recording, 'How to Make It in Hollywood', Curtis's electrifying showmanship is complemented with his full band for the first time at the Cube.
Curtis Eller's American Circus is a brutish, inelegant rock & roll outfit. The new album is collection of glittery show tunes, sentimental tearjerkers and jagged rock & roll rave-ups whose lyrics are populated by two-bit prize fighters, Hollywood has-beens, lapsed gospel singers and forgotten pop stars. A lavish Hollywood dance sequence unfolding on the floor of a Chicago meatpacking plant in 1894.
A band of old time catgut pedlars, rosewood carvers and members of Boxcar Aldous Huxley , Cakes and Ale and Snails, The Ninetree Stumblers will be barrelling down the hill to play fiddle tunes, rags, jug band blues and backwoods waltzes.
