Wreckless Eric and Amy Rigby play one Scottish Date!

I'm indebted to Allan Hendry for the following fantastic news for fans of Eric And Amy

Wreckless Eric & Amy Rigby bring their unique and critically acclaimed rock ' n roll show to Woodend Bowling Club on Sunday the 4th of December, their only Scottish date as part of their UK tour. These are the first UK dates for the pair since moving to upstate New York over the summer.

Wreckless Eric & Amy Rigby have individually been making distinctive and original music for decades, he a British iconoclast and wild-card survivor of the early Stiff Records, she as a long-standing heroine of the New York pop scene. For the last three years they have been touring in the US, UK and Europe. 

 

In 2008 the self-styled `two piece rock ‘n’ roll group’ released their debut album “Wreckless Eric & Amy Rigby”, which enjoyed rapturous critical acclaim in the USA and has been the subject of a four star review in Mojo. Their follow up 'Two Way Family Favourites' also enjoyed critical acclaim, whilst their live show has been described by Word magazine as 'quite possibly one of the best shows I have seen in recent years'

 

Wreckless Eric recorded the legendary single “Whole Wide World” back in 1977. Since then he has made countless albums in different guises, moving between bubblegum, pop, grunge, psychedelia and techno, but always remaining true to the DIY spirit of his early Stiff days. His most recent solo album, Bungalow Hi, was described by Andrew Weatherall as sounding “like Bo Diddley trying to outdo Aphex Twin”.

Amy Rigby started a country band in eighties New York City, went on to form girl group The Shams, and began her solo career in 1996 with the US hit album Diary Of A Mod Housewife. Her five solo albums embrace pop, country, folk-rock, psychedelia and the indefinable. The Washington Post calls her “One of rock’s most distinctive and consistently excellent songwriters”.

There are no other musicians involved - Wreckless Eric & Amy Rigby sing together in harmony accompanied by electric guitar, bass and organ (Eric) and guitars and piano (Amy), plus the occasional sample and the odd bossanova beatbox. With a mixture of new and old material this promises to be a great evening for old and new fans alike.
