Top Hull band Loudhailer Electric Company will play a Christmas show at The New Adelphi Club on December 13, supported by The Last Bastions of Bohemia.
Loudhailer Electric Company have a big history on the psychedelic and original indie scene, featuring Lou Duffy-Howard of recently reformed indie chart-toppers Red Guitars, and Jeff Parsons of post-punk guitar band Dead Fingers Talk.
The line-up is completed by spoken word poetry wordsmith Richard Duffy-Howard and drummer Dave Burnby. Known for their soaring guitar-based songs the band are preparing a set of new and live favourites telling spirited stories of science fiction, road movies and fairy tales.
Dave said: “It's a huge privilege and a great pleasure to be working with Loudhailer Electric Company, not least because I've always been a big fan. It's a big challenge working with musicians of such a high calibre. Since I’ve been playing with the band I’ve been hugely impressed by the work rate, the amount of time and care that goes into rehearsals and the range of material.
“It’s been one of the most challenging gigs for me, and also the most rewarding. I'm pleased with the outcome and am very much looking forward to our Christmas show.”
