Paper Dress Presents an evening of wonderful live music from our unique shop window stage in Hackney Central. On Friday 1 April we welcome…
Simon Love sings songs about love, hate, girls, Elton John and chopping his penis off. He released his debut solo LP ‘It Seemed Like A Good Idea At The Time’ last August and got some really good reviews for it-
“Love’s songs encompass all of pop history, a fine Stewart Lee cameo and a possibly libellous song about Elton John. Very good indeed.” – 4/5 Q Magazine
“like a potty-mouthed UK version of Father John Misty..a brilliant bit of Beatle-esque anti-The Man pop..something uniquely British and wickedly funny, coupled with a finely tuned song writing skill and ear for a clever arrangement“. – 4/5 Shindig!
“This cocksure debut solo album is packed with ideas and flirts with quirk, but has just about enough with- and good songs- to get away with it..bathed in a 70s post-glam grubby glitter glow” 7/10 Uncut
“It’s fun, stupid and a brilliant antidote to the po-faced seriousness you find in much modern psyche” 4/5 Record Collector
4/5 God Is In The TV
4/5 AllMusic
Here’s the lead single from the record that David Crosby called “Horrible”- “The New Adam And Eve”
He and his band, The Old Romantics are about to go on a tour of Europe at the end of April before flying out to play some shows in New York in May.
