With a tour history including Oasis and The Verve, Reverend And The Makers’ live show does not disappoint. This March, they will be crossing the Atlantic to perform with The Enemy in LA and NY and in The End Records SXSW showcase in Austin, TX. Their first show will be on March 11th supporting The Enemy at the iconic Knitting Factory in Brooklyn, NY. A few days later, March 14th, they will be in Austin, TX at The End Records SXSW showcase at Hickory Street. The following week brings them to sunny LA for a show with The Enemy at The Roxy Theatre in West Hollywood.
Reverend And The Makers are back to reclaim their crown. Never has real life sounded so good. The tumbledown of cheap drugs, gritty realism, thrilling escapism, sex, and fish and chip suppers, hedonistic living, all night dance music in dank semi legal cellars, and the comedown – all soundtracked by great guitar music.
It takes a special talent to make magic out of the kitchen sink, to tell the story of the real world with an intimate touch that doesn’t sound patronizing. Jon McClure of Reverend And The Makers made his name with this kind of writing and the new album sees the band return with their most concise and perfect work yet. If Shane Meadows made great contemporary pop records, mashing the rush of indie with the hedonistic pulse of electronics and dance, then this is what they would sound like.
