SUMMARY:Gong + HENGE: Sounds of the Cosmos Tour
DESCRIPTION:Tickets £28.50.Doors open 6.30pm\, starts 7pm.This gig is for a standing audience. \nAt last – the double header we’ve been dreaming of! \nHENGE and GONG will be performing as joint headliners on the Sounds of the Cosmos Tour\, sharing equal billing across all dates. To keep things exciting\, the order of performance will alternate from show to show. As such\, we won’t be revealing in advance who will be opening or closing on any given night. Please arrive in time for the advertised start\, and plan to stay until the end to enjoy the full experience! \nHENGEAttention Humans! This is HENGE. We are not from this world. We bring you music from distant planets. We offer this gift for the edification of humankind… so that eventually your species may put an end to war and set up new homes in space. Extra-terrestrial joymongers – HENGE – have been delighting audiences in the UK and Europe since they landed on Planet Earth ten years ago. Their scintillating live performances earned them ‘Best Live Act’ at the Independent Festival Awards and they have since cemented their reputation with four acclaimed albums\, numerous tours and regular main-stage festival appearances. Their music escapes definition\, but occupies a space between rave and prog rock that nobody knew existed. It is energetic\, subversive and invigoratingly playful\, jovially going ‘where no one has gone before’. Ultimately\, HENGE are spreading a message of hope which leaves audiences feeling amused and uplifted in equal measures. \nGONGThe ever metamorphosing entity that is Gong launches\, as ever\, into unknown – and unknowing – territory with a new album and tour\, destined to be talked about\, discussed\, and argued over\, up and down the land. From its beginnings in a French commune in 1967\, through the Virgin Records years\, mismanagement\, court cases\, break-ups and rejoinings\, deaths and rebirths – there has always been a continuous thread of beautiful\, dangerous and extraordinary music. The current holders of the flame have come together over the last seven years; sinuous bass player Dave Sturt joined just as the album 2032 was shown to the world; Ian ‘Eastwinds’ East was the next to blow in through the portal; Fabio Golfetti brought his guitars from Brazil (after working with Daevid for many years); Kavus Torabi appeared to Daevid in a vision; Cheb Nettles just sort of turned up. Gong’s musically diverse world includes shades of psychedelia\, space rock\, jazz\, avant-garde\, krautrock and surreal soundscapes.
