Jeffrey Lewis’ 13 Crass Dates - UK tour news
By: Dan Monsell
It seems New York's finest comic book artist-cum-folk troubadour can't get enough of us Brits this summer. With festival appearances so far confirmed at Big Chill, Field Day, End Of The Road, Summer Sundae and Bestival (with apparently more to follow), Jeffrey Lewis has also announced a schedule of headline shows taking him through to mid-September.
Indeed it has recently been discussed in the Rockfeedback office (where the fun never stops), that his most recent full length release - an album of cover versions of anarchist punk band Crass entitled 12 Crass Songs - is one of the finest things we've heard in some time. We can't wait to see him do in the flesh again. Full live dates are as follows:
3 Aug - Big Chill Festival, Herefordshire
4 Aug - Crane Lane Theatre, Cork
5 Aug - Crawdadddy, Belfast
6 Aug - Black Box, Dublin
7 Aug - Roisin Dubh, Galway
9 Aug - Field Day Festival
10 Aug - Summer Sundae Festival, Leicester
6 Sept - Bestival, Isle Of Wight
10 Sept - Clwb Ifor Bach, Cardiff
12 Sept - End Of The Road Festival, Salisbury
15 Sept - Club Academy, Manchester
16 Sept - Brudenell Sociall Club, Leeds
18 Sept - The Scala, London
