New Bury bands showcased at Bury Art Museum on Saturday

Tuesday, 23 January 2024 16:00

By James Coneys-Murphy

Young Bury bands Shoehorn and Novacane will appear at Bury Art Museum on Saturday (27 Jan).

The afternoon will also feature performances by artists Slumberman and Redell Olsen as part of the Rooms to Live III programme of events.

Rooms to Live III is part of Rooms to Live, an exhibition by artists Derek Tyman and Andy Webster. This combines fact and fiction, and references to 1960s counterculture and 1980s environmentalism, to investigate the alliances between music and art as vehicles for the imagination.

For Rooms to Live the artists have reconstructed a storm damaged house boat cum ‘disco’ Arcadia in the gallery, and the installation Trout House Replica recreates the interior of the Los Angeles house where Captain Beefheart and The Magic Band wrote and rehearsed their seminal 1969 album Trout Mask Replica.

Local young bands were invited to take up 4-day residencies in the Trout House Replica space, taking inspiration and fostering collaboration with other musicians.

Shoehorn are aged 14-16, and play a range of covers and original music. Novacane, all aged 17, are an alternative rock band who have played the Right to Roam in Bolton and Glaston-Bury festivals. The band’s first single Drive is on Spotify.

The bands will play at 3pm.

Before then, at 2pm, Slumberland appear. Poet/artist Nick Gonzo and musician Perfect Writing will combine music, poetry and video in a ‘seance’ in the Trout House Replica, to summon forth the spirit of Beefheart’s album.

And at 2.30pm, Redell Olsen will perform Frownland, using Beefheart’s album as a starting point for further artistic exploration.
