The enigmatic and
reclusive Paul Haig is set to play live for the
first time since 1989 - to celebrate the release of his 10th solo album ‘go
out tonight'.
The energising effect of the reaction to 2007's 'electronic
audience' (**** Uncut) was followed by Paul deciding on Jan 1st 2008 that playing live was back on his agenda, after many years out of the
spotlight. His only appearances on stage since 1989 have been with Nouvelle
Vague and at the Billy Mackenzie 10th anniversary concert in London in Spring 2007.
Who is Paul Haig? He just happened to be lead
singer/songwriter in "Josef K, who have become one of the most influential
bands in Britain"
(The Guardian)
Paul Haig is an artist whose cult status as an
outsider pop genius is now assured. His influence can clearly be heard amongst
the current crop of post-punk angular pop-romantics - name checked by both the Killers and Franz Ferdinand.
Even the Klaxon's featured the classic
‘Sorry For Laughing' on their ‘bugged out' compilation.
Paul will appear with a full live band. The set
will include acclaimed highlights from his career as well as current material.
Including the recent single, ‘Reason', which was record of the week on Radcliffe/Maconie
Show. Mark Radcliffe described ‘Reason' as ‘a corker'!!!
Support comes from the excellent Laki Mera whose
album is also out in April on Paul Haig's Rhythm Of Life Inc label.
