About this Event
Quay West Studios/Andy Hawxwell are delighted to welcome Scott Lavene to the Candlelight Sessions.
Scott Lavene
A born storyteller, through his records and his writing, Scott Lavene has long been populating a hallucinogenic world of his own creation with ne'er do wells, ragamuffins and eccentrics. With his exceptional 3rd album "Disneyland In Dagenham" realised in May via Nothing Fancy Records, Lavene heads out on the road again, having just done a circuit of the UK in support of The Hold Steady's Craig Finn.
In person he is thoughtful and softly spoken, onstage Lavene is a born entertainer, a comedian, raconteur, and storyteller as much as a musician. He jokes "I'm like The Beatles, but a little bit Tom Waits, a little bit Whitesnake, a little bit Chas & Dave, and a little bit power ballads." Ultimately Scott Lavene is the kind of artist that can be compared only to himself.
"Modern, spivvy, pop-punk, TMI gabble about the urgency and futility of it all from lyrical Essex motormouth" - MOJO
"Think Baxter Durys warped kid brother" - The Times
"Sounds like an updated version of something Stiff records would have released in the 70s" - Steve Lamacq
