MATT MALONE & THE HOLY SPIRITS return to the stage after the success of 2023’s For The Term Of My Natural Life to bring you the EP - Made In The Image / Vol. 1 featuring reimagined songs by PJ Harvey, John Lee Hooker, Paul Kelly, Bob Dylan & Lou Reed. They will be supported by dark folk songstress YASMIN DE LAINE (Post-Heaven, Lily Of The Valley).Matt Malone & The Holy Spirits are formed in primitive blues, outlaw country, gothic post-punk and apocalyptic gospel. For over a decade, Malone has weaved deeply poetic narratives calling to mind some of the most revered singer-songwriters of the past century - Nick Cave, Mark Lanegan, Leonard Cohen, Townes Van Zandt and Johnny Cash. Matt Malone & The Holy Spirits skeleton crew featuring Anthony Cornish (Eden, Ikon) - drums, Ash Jones (Miguel Rios, Gold Gull) - bass / violin have gone electric in their singular interpretations of songs from PJ Harvey, John Lee Hooker, Paul Kelly, Bob Dylan and Lou Reed on their new EP - MADE IN THE IMAGE / VOL 1. Make sure you don’t miss out.
