Robyn Hitchcock has been at the helm of the English music scene for decades. Although labeled as eccentric and erratic over the course of his career, he has become a fixture in the songwriter and rock world. He started his career in 1976 with 'The Soft Boys', a new wave/punk band. Hitchcock is a talented man. He writes short stories, paints, draws and acts. But above all, he is an excellent singer and songwriter. His voice floats somewhere between that of John Lennon and Syd Barrett. Not coincidentally, also two of his greatest influences, besides Pink Floyd, Bob Dylan, The Doors and Big Star.
With The Venus 3, Robyn Hitchcock gathered a band around him that many can only dream of. Peter Buck, Scott McCaughey and Bill Rieflin are all or were part of R.E.M. This guitarist, bass guitarist and drummer, who made their mark in one of the biggest bands in the world, takes Robyn Hitchcock's songs to an unprecedented high level. If your mouth is not yet watering, you can rest assured that this concert will be world-class! Don't miss it!
