The bassist who started his
musical career with Magazine and went on to score David Lynch's Lost Highway,
takes his sultry, enigmatic film noir soundtrack of an album, Back To The Cat,
out on the road. Premiered live at the London
Jazz Festival in November of last year, where Adamson was artist in residence,
the album has been described as "a bit of jazz, a bit of funk with subtle
brass riding on top. Music from the age when Sean Connery was the coolest guy
on the planet who could get away with murder with a half smile on his face".
As befits the man who invented
the idea of the imaginary soundtrack album with his 1988 solo debut Moss Side
Story, every song is rendered in vivid widescreen, with a narrative as
compulsive as an Alfred Hitchcock chiller. With a wicked sense of humour and a
beady eye for detail, Barry charts the complexity and duplicity of human
nature, often deliberately contrasting stories with sounds.
Doors 8pm, Barry Adamson will be on stage at 10pm. Tickets priced £18 are available
now from The Voodoo Rooms, Ripping Records & Tickets Scotland. Online at http://www.ticketweb.co.uk. Credit card
