About this event
About If you loved Nomeansno then you will have missed not seeing them for over 10 yrs!! But now we have Dead Bob with John Wright back behind the kit doing what he does best, and excellent they are too, they even treat us to some NMN originals....some come along and have a fab night of excellent entertainment.....I can promise you this, they are worth the long wait.There will only be one support to allow Dead Bob a full unrestricted set.Dead Bob is the solo incarnation of John Wright, drummer of long time and apparently legendary, but now retired, Canadian punk band No Means No (NMN). Wright has spent 50 years drumming, 45 years songwriting, 30 years touring, three years helping robots play punk rock, 30 years brewing, and a lifetime playing music in more bands than you can count on one hand.Currently practicing drums, with one album released and a 2nd due imminently, Wright is not planning on slowing down any time soon. The material on "Life Like spans decades and there's lots more in the vault. The album was recorded and produced by Wright in the wilds of British Columbia and while he primarily wrote and performed it himself, he can't take all of the credit, having engaged the help of several friends including Byron Slack (Invasives), Kristy Lee Audette (Rong), Ford Pier (Ford Pier and the Vengeance Trio, DOA, Roots Round up, Junior Gone Wild, Rheostatics), Selina Martin, his son Aidan Wright, as well as two old collaborations with his brother Rob in the writer's chair.As might be expected, the songs roll out cohesively but defy the cookie cutter pigeon holes, hence "Genre" is a tough one to convey but one thing that is not unclear is it is not to be listened to quietly! We aim to make sure you hear it all good and loud!
