LUME Lab

LUME is back with a brand new series called LUME Lab! It’s edition #1 of what we hope will be a regular occurrence where we offer a group of artists the chance to develop an area of interest, invite them to let us in on the process by writing in a dedicated blog and finish the journey with a live performance at IKLECTIK presented by LUME. Read more about it on the LUME website and buy tickets on the Luminous Bandcamp page. First up it’s Word Of Moth, a collaborative group featuring myself, Cath Roberts, Seth Bennett and Johnny Hunter. The ensemble’s ‘spontaneous group explorations and tightly-scored, big-booted riffs’ were praised by Daniel Spicer in The Wire magazine.

Deemer gigs in December

We’re looking forward to playing at The Noise Upstairs this Thursday 8th December at the Fuel Cafe, 448 Wilmslow Road, Manchester M20 3BW. The Noise Upstairs is a Manchester based improv collective run by Anton Hunter and Rodrigo Constanzo which puts on a monthly free-improv night: ‘The basic premise is that anyone can turn up and join in by putting their name in the hat. Names are pulled out, ensembles formed, and hearts broken.’ Read more about it on their website.

 LUME was inspired by this idea to create its own version: The Hat Speaks, which was last held in December 2015 at Hundred Years Gallery and more recently, Cath Roberts brought it to Lancaster Jazz Festival when she was Artist in Residence this September. Lots of fun was had!

Back in London on 21st December we’ll be playing at Paper Dress Vintage, 352a Mare Street, London E8 1HR as part of a regular electronic/experimental music night (with a festive twist). Find out more on the Facebook Event.

In other news: we had a fun cassette launch last Thursday 1st December to celebrate our new release on Luminous Label. Check it out!
