THE VIBE BAR :: JAYSON NORRIS + LOTUS MASON :: 20/01/2010
Our first show of the year/decade is a double header featuring two London based Kiwi bands celebrating their respective releases.
Jayson Norris should need little introduction by now, having played so many Spacific events, supported so many great New Zealand bands at their UK shows and graced so many outdoor festivals over the years. His South Pacifican take on Jack Johnson and Ben Harper has won him a strong UK following, and he has just returned from a sell out tour of NZ.
Late last year he released his sophomore album, “Freedom to Live”, but somehow never got round to holding a launch party. Thankfully his friends Lotus Mason, formerly The Thin Men (and before that El Hula), wanted to launch their new album, “Rust & Roll”, so they have joined forces for the night. They will be onstage around 9.45pm with Jayson on beforehand at 8.30pm.
All the early bird tickets have gone, but there are some left for £5 at Ticketweb (08444 77 1000 or the direct link is http://tinyurl.com/y9q4zq8). Otherwise it will be £8 on the door.
From 7pm
At: The Truman Brewery, 91 Brick Lane, E1 6QL
Nearest Tubes: Aldgate East or Liverpool St
