This is the first ever gig for my band The Wood Demons.
[b][i][u]The event[/u][/i][/b]
The gig is a fundraiser for thebridge, a charity which supports children and teenagers with communication disabilities (such as autism and ADHD).
The bridge provides sport and drama to improve their communication skills and help them integrate into education and work.
As things are, many people with these difficulties can become marginalised and incapable of working or forming relationships.
Wednesday April 11, The George IV, 185 High Road, Chiswick
[u][i][b]The music[/b][/i][/u]
The Wood Demons - alt rock inspired by psychedelia, early prog and other less mainstream stuff from the late 60/early 70s. And by later bands who inherited that tradition.
Think Barrett's Floyd, Gabriel's Genesis, krautrock, West Coast psych, Byrds, Velvets, Television, Soft Boys/Hitchcock, Primal Scream, Radiohead.
Shakespeare and the Bible - Folk/punk, shades of Joe Strummer and Shane McGowan, great songs.
The Kitchen Drinkers - very accomplished folk/bluegrass outfit with great harmonies
It should be a memorable night, and thebridge is worth giving money to.
Best,
John
