Music: Rock/Pop The Local feat. David Thomas Broughton w/ Wiqwar

  • Davids_large

David Thomas Broughton won considerable praise during the 2007 festival season with his distant vibrato vocals, spartan finger-picked guitar and a sea of oddball samples. Drawing on a ramshackle, ad-libbed style, this awkward gent picks up whatever's at hand to accompany his macabre lyrics, creating unusual, yet engrossing waves of clattering loops; performances often see the musician leave the stage shoeless after lobbing them at a microphone. Supporting this acoustic experimentalist, Wiqwar's multi-instrumentalist Russell Wickwar blends guitar, banjo and lap steels with laptop beats. Enjoy the folk-bluesy opener before Broughton pulls out the weird stuff.
