Fence Records’ annual Homegame event will take place over 12th-14th March 2010 – 3 days of incredible music, captured in various small halls dotted around the label’s picturesque sea-side hometown of Anstruther, in Fife.
Tickets go on sale Tuesday, December 1st 2009 – available only from this website, and priced at £75 each.
This being the seventh consecutive Homegame, the event takes a lucky twist – with King Creosote performing a new unreleased album – entitled My Nth Bit Of Strange In Umpteen Years – from start to finish.
“Since the release of Flick The Vs in April I’ve written 10 new songs for an album that, for various reasons, I’d rather not record and release in the usual way. Instead I’ve come up with this idea of a live album, and together with Fence drummer Captain Geeko, I performed My First Bit Of Strange In 13 Years in its entirety at the Fence Hallowe’en weekend in front of an invited audience. The members of this audience were asked to record the show for themselves on battery powered equipment, and at my behest these recordings have since been passed around in the hope that they present a poor substitute for the show itself.”
Over the Homegame weekend, KC will perform the entire album SEVEN times, in a small hall – and ticket holders will be given a specific show to attend. These shows will, collectively, be the only King Creosote set over the weekend.
“This new album will naturally evolve over time, and My Second/Third/Fourth … Eighth Bits Of Strange In 14 Years will all be performed at Fence Homegame7 by King Creosote with various special guests. That’s seven performances for 40 people at a time over the course of three days. And if recording the show for yourself scares you, we might well have a fortifying wee dram for you during the interval.”
Yep, KC vows never to officially record this album – however, he insists that you do!
As a condition of entry, each person in attendance MUST have a device with which to record the performance. Whether it be by dictaphone, mobile phone, or even a portable studio (!), you won’t be allowed into the KC show without one. And … as these will be your own recordings, KC encourages you to share them in which ever way you please!
Of course, the only way to witness this is by purchasing tickets to the Homegame – which go on sale at Noon on Tuesday, December 1st, 2009.
Weekend tickets are priced at £75 each (plus postage), and are available only from www.fencerecords.com.
