Bone Machine: The Music Of Tom Waits

Having cornered the market in hobo chic, Tom Waits achieved a thrilling Radiohead shift from the last of his traditional latenight barroom bliss that was 1980's Heartattack And Vine to the avant garde, toolbox-falling-down-the-stairs blitz of 1983's Swordfishtrombone. New label, new sound, new Tom, but largely the same mischievous songs of decadence and crushing desire. And at The Whale on Friday, July 24th, Bone Machine will be celebrating both sides of the now 76-year-old Thomas Alan Waits. Bring a tissue. And a haddock. Details here.
