Acoustic Ladyland @ The Voodoo Rooms, 24 Jun

Event preview by Joe Barton.
Published 29 May 2009

Acoustic Ladyland are the antithesis of the anodyne listening experience provided by the common-or-garden ‘mellow sax trio’. Instead, London’s finest purveyors of jazz-punk spew out a joyous racket of distorted keyboards and blistering tenor saxophone that evokes the spirit of Albert Ayler and The Stooges in equal measure. Fans of out-there sounds are guaranteed to be entertained; proof lies in the fact that drummer Seb Roachford – he of the gargantuan afro - is also the leader of Polar Bear, while the group form part of the prestigious F-IRE Collective. If you’re torn between dancing the Charleston and having a good old mosh, then these may be the cats for you.
