MARISSA NADLER
+ ANNA KASHFI + STARLESS & BIBLE BLACK + Hoodlum Tribe DJs
Wednesday 8th June @ Jabez Clegg, Porstmouth St, Manchester

On stage, clad in black shawls and cascading tresses, Marissa Nadler performs with an intricate finger-style on the guitar, ukele, and 5-string banjo. Yet it is often her voice that is a shuttle towards another time, a soprano reverberating with melancholy and longing. From her earliest incarnations, Marissa appeared with music that was unique and gorgeous skillfully and simply hinting at the songs of the sea, the haunting chansons of maidens, the cowboy ditties of ranchers, and the funerary processions of mourners. Her many early, homemade CD’s, lovingly decorated and inscribed to her nearest and dearest brought the attention of Eclipse Records in Arizona. Ed Hardy, who has gained a reputation for releasing beautiful, eclectic music, released Marissa’s first LP Ballads of Living and Dying in 2004, a release that Pitchfork called “a landscape you may want to get lost in for a century or two,” and that The Wire called “a beauty.” Ballads of Living and Dying was released in the UK in early February of 2005 by Beautiful Happiness Records, meeting the same acclaim overseas as it did in the States, with the Guardian calling it “uncommonly lovely...hard to get out of your head.” Her second full length LP, "The Saga of Mayflower May", will be released in April, 2005.
Built around the delicate guitar work of James Youngjohns and the haunting vocals of Sian Webley, The ever-sublime Anna Kashfi have gained a reputation throughout the Northwest and beyond as proponents of sparsely beautiful Americana, frequently gaining (inevitable) comparisons with Mazzy Star and Sparklehorse.
Starless and Bible Black are a Manchester based music collective that perform dark chamber folk music that is reminiscent of bands such as Pentangle and Cocteau Twins, with a hint of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop.
