On Friday night, Can legend Damo Suzuki played a gig in my local pub. I’m going to have to repeat that, just to try to convince myself that this actually happened. On Friday night, Can legend Damo Suzuki played a gig in my local pub. His designated sound carriers for the evening were London’s Bleeding Heart Narrative (whose albums have been reviewed on here previously), and Cissy from Leeds. I always imagine that at the start of these Damo Suzuki shows, the musicians involved aren’t quite sure how it is going to pan out. But yet, it always seems to pan out much the same way: Damo muttering rhythmically, luring the drummers into a huge krautrock figure; the other musicians (in this instance guitars, keyboard and cello) spitting and snarling in the empty spaces. And, to be honest, who’d want it any other way?
