The Last Werewolf by The Real Tuesday Weld

Literate, jazzy art-pop/cabaret practitioners headline this rather special event, with a performance from their new album, ‘The Last Werewolf’. The latter is a soundtrack to the book of the same name by horror merchant Glen Duncan, who will be here reading extracts.

Lazarus And The Plane Crash 'Horseplay'

Madcap, crazy, jazzed up menatlisms from the Antique Beat wizards… Its like a party in your old 45′s and Tom Waits and everyone you love is invited…

Lazarus and the Plane Crash Album Horesplay

The songs are for the most part riotously danceable, especially ‘The King Of The Village Fete’, ‘The Clay’s A Calling’ and ‘Horn For The Whole Damn World’. But they do pathos-soaked balladry rather well too, as the gorgeous ‘Violent Men’ will testify.

Lazarus And The Plane Crash 'Horseplay'

Well, this is a blast. Lazarus And The Plane Crash is Joe Coles, previously of The Guillotines, and Stephen Coates (aka The Clerkenwell Kid) of The Real Tuesday Weld. Together they’ve made a strange record of primal rock ‘n’ roll, dark, dangerous themes and freak show aesthetics.

In their determination to go out on any limb, regardless of taste or safety, Lazarus and the Plane Crash – a collaboration between Guillotines singer Joe Coles and Stephen Coates, grey eminence behind The Real Tuesday Weld – display the kind of risk-taking absent from The Maccabees’ album.

Lazarus And The Plane Crash 'Horseplay'

Horseplay, whose oversized packaging folds out into a Ouija board, is a peripatetic, eclectic magpie’s nest of styles, with Coles alternating between a badass Beef-heartian blues rasp and a more courtly Cole Porter diction, while Coates provides an alluring cut-and-past backing of vintage found sounds.

Lazarus And The Plane Crash 'Horseplay'

Supposedly recorded in boozy single takes, this “collision” between The Real Tuesday Weld’s Stephen Coates and the Guillotines’ Joe Coles is a lusty pile-up of bad-ass blues polkas. Subtle it isn’t, but the reckless racket is bracing and the mock-machowit (“I’m manly, I’m Desperate Danly!”) is leavening. The sleeve is a Ouija board, the noise within might just raise the dead.
