NEW SHOW // THE WAVE PICTURESWe’re delighted to announce that The Wave Pictures will be gracing the CWRW stage as part of their upcoming tour! Tickets go on sale Monday at 10am.
The Wave Pictures – comprised of songwriter, singer and guitarist David Tattersall, bassist Franic Rozycki and drummer Jonny ‘Huddersfield’ Helm – all love rock and roll, classic country, 70’s rock, soul and folk, and are purveyors of self-styled pop music.
After recording 2018’s two albums Brushes With Happiness and Look Inside Your Heart on reel to reel tape in the tiny Booze Cube in Stoke Newington, and in the case of Brushes, not rehearsing and then improvising the songs while recording them, the band returned to Rochester to record double album When The Purple Emperor Spreads His Wings at Ranscombe Studios. Both their 2016 album Bamboo Diner in the Rain and 2015’s collaborative effort Great Big Flamingo Burning Moon with Wild Billy Childish were recorded there, as well as David and Franic’s surf-garage-rock-super-group The Surfing Magazines, featuring Charles Watson of Slow Club.
During the creation of When The Purple Emperor Spreads His Wings, indie legends Guided by Voices’ snippet pop song mania showed how The Wave Pictures could take their classic influences and allow them to harness the power of pop more than ever before. The band entertained themselves playing Dave’s poetically inspired songs while thinking about all kinds of records they were listening to: Sun Rockabilly, African guitars, Neil Young country, and plenty of the sounds of the 60’s golden age of British music: the crazy fun of The Who and the creepiness of The Yardbirds. This is the perfect album for those people who still wonder who is better, The Beatles or The Rolling Stones. The answer is really secret option C: The Wave Pictures!
