Anyone with a passing interest in The Indelicates will know that
frontpeople and songwriters Simon and Julia have a long and
tuberculotic history as jobbing poets. This book collects together some
of the poetry that they are happiest with - as well as an extensive
record of the lyrics they’ve written for the band, some as yet
unreleased - in a gorgeous 7” record shaped volume that will look at
home on your bookshelf, on your record shelf, or even propped up
precociously behind your toilet cistern to impress people.
Including
Simon’s long poem ‘The Principle of Quicksilver…’ and Julia’s modernist
epic ‘Bacchus and Ariadne’ as well as extensive footnotes to the lyric
section that detail inspirations, answer questions and dispense insults
– we are proud to announce “Words by…” as the latest addition to our
range of Indelicates brand lifestyle enhancement products.
The Launch features some of The Indelicates' favourite people, as well as Readings from Both Simon and Julia Indelicate:
THE
REVEREND - Righteous poet, Grand Slam entrant, has King Arthur's sword
in his House, and Plays GOD in The Book Of Job: The Musical!
B23 - convicted word murderer seeks endless not for relationship, must have teeth.
LILY
RAE - Blondie-esque catchiness and a lyrical audacity that sticks her
firmly in the category where Lily Allen isn’t. She’s tiny and she drips
with attitude and she plays shows in shit pubs as though they were
arenas.
KEITH TOTP And His Minor UK Indie Celebrity All-Star
Backing Band - Songs about girls and bands being rubbish, featuring at
different times, Simon Indelicate, Julia Indelicate, Sue Robots in
Disguise, Eddie Argos, Arec, Caroline, David Devant, Carter USM, and
others. Is loud and cathartic.
KEVIN REINHARDT - finally after three and a half years of trying manages to get booked by his own night.
WESTLEY INGRAM - Clearly his spots at Bingo Master..s breakout and cELEBRITY eUTHANASIA weren..t enough so now he gets a feature.
Very limited open mic, probably no more than 4 so even more reason to be early.
Books will be available to buy on the night, as well as in the Indelicates shop:
