We’re sad to have to announce that Zomes have cancelled their tour and will no longer be at Bring To Light. In happier news, the excellent Grumbling Fur have been added to the bill. They got a great reaction at the St Paul’s church show this April, so it’s great to have them back. Featuring Alexander Tucker and Daniel O’Sullivan (Ulver, Miasma and The Carousel of Headless Horses, Guapo, Mothlite), they concoct a potent brew of doomy psychedelia, interspersed with blissful krautrock, Grumbling Fur will play Bring To Light on Saturday 26th October.

He’s outlining his plans ahead of Bring to Light, a three-day festival as part of the new Library of Birmingham’s inaugural programme where he’ll star alongside the likes of hyperactive South African dance act Shangaan Electro and Richard Dawson, a singer-songwriter whose Kids Gigs are designed to provide belly laughs for under-sevens at the city’s Symphony Hall.

“While you lot have been sunning yourself on beaches all summer, I’ve been locked in the basement toiling away making noisey stuff for your amusement,” he offers, when asked what wristband holders might expect.” Read the full article here
