To celebrate Captain Beefheart and his life on Earth,Robyn Hitchcock and his Imaginary Band will perform the album 'Clear Spot' and a few other Beefheart compositions at the Relentless Garage, London, June 3rd and Westwood Festival, Cheltenham, June 4th.
"In the early Soft Boys we tried to cross Abbey Road with Trout Mask Replica", says Robyn: "It didn't really work but it was some hybrid. The most exciting show I've ever seen was Beefheart and The Magic Band in 1973. This won't be as accurate as the John French/Magic Band gigs a few years back, but 'Clear Spot' is quite a party album, and we're planning to have quite a party"
The Imaginary Band will be Paul Noble and Terry Edwards on guitars and bass, Jenny Adejayan on cello, and Stephen Irvine on drums.
