The return of Luke Haines
Music // Jim // 25th September 2006
After what seems like an awfully long time, comedy misanthrope Luke Haines is back with a single and album with the two-for-one title Off My Rocker At The Art School Bop. The track itself is a catchy affair involving eighties synth noises and a noisy guitar refrain. Sounds like he is saying "Can you feel the beat of my arse?" at one point.
As Steve will no doubt point out once he's heard it - it would be better with the scary/sexy Sarah Nixey singing instead. Memories of going to see Black Box Recorder and feeling all weird when they did "The School Song" come flooding back. Shudder/sigh.
You can check out the single on the inevitable MySpace page and there is more info at the getting-creepier-by-the-minute official Luke Haines web site. Check that fucking 'tache.
In support of the album there is a tour which stops off at the Coventry Collosseum on 2/11 and the Birmingham Academy bar on 8/11. My already hectic November just got a bit more musical.
