Geoff Farina (Southern)

Karate/Secret Stars/Glorytellers

Geoff has not played in the UK for 7 years so this will be a rare treat! Geoff Farina fronts Glorytellers, but is probably best known for the abstract lyrics and jazzy, post-punk guitar style he developed over his 12 years with Karate, or as one-half of The Secret Stars, the seminal early-90s duo that passed around home-made cassettes of songs now covered by the likes of Ida and Death Cab for Cutie.

“Farina is an existential detective, dusting the surfaces of his life for traces of some deeper meaning, sifting through the ordinary to find some underlying connection.” Boston Phoenix

“Mellifluous jazz guitar, irresistible melodies, and heart-tuggingly understated vocals” Time Out London

“There’s always something warming about any record involving singer-guitarist Geoff Farina, with his blend of lo-fi indie and Steely Dan-influenced jazz-pop.” The Independent

Chris Brokaw

Codeine/Come/The New Year/The Thurston Moore Band/Dirt Music/Evan Dando Band/Steve Wynn band

Chris Brokaw is one of the hardest working musicians in America and known throughout as a true gentleman. A great guitarist also blessed with a deep soulful songwriting skill and dry smokey voice.

He was a founding member of Codeine; the band that started the Slowcore scene in the late 80’s, then he formed Come with Thalia Zedek, now drums in The New Year, plays guitar for Thurston Moore and Evan Dando and with a wealth of other high achieving acts. Chris Brokaw is a rare humble genius and one of the finest solo artists of our times.

“one of the best performers in the country” Time Out New York

“…ravaged but beautiful beyond belief, reflecting both the dark, blues-strung grief of Come, and the lean-lined, horizon-fixed heft of Codeine…” Time out London

“Brokaw proves himself as an intriguing, highly singular lyricist and vocalist as well as the most mesmerising indie guitarist since The Durutti Column’s Vini Reilly.” (4/5 Stars) London Evening Standard
