bump up to confirm Michael Gira...
MICHAEL GIRA
Also on this superb double bill is Michael Gira - owner of Young God Records which spawned Devendra Banhart amongst many other luminaries. Michael also founded the influential Swans. Now armed with a sombre voice and an acoustic guitar, he makes bare and direct folk-tinged, song-based but still crucial music.
Recently performed an “utterly thrilling acoustic set” (The Independent) at Indian Summer. Not to be missed. Seriously…
