About event
If there's one artist who could be said to have followed a tangential path from Hendrix to Big Star to Spacemen 3, it's The Bevis Frond...and that's no exaggeration, the proof of this can be found in countless albums spanning 30 years of exciting musical innovation that few have achieved.
Filtered through The Groundhogs, The Who, Neil Young, Captain Beefheart and Kevin Ayers is this is an iconoclastic collision of distinctly British psychedelia, space rock, grunge, slow-burning soulful dirges, even grizzled folk and more than the occasional moment of sublime pop genius.
Yet he remains rock 'n' roll's best-kept secret - isn't it time you discovered one of England's finest songwriters and sensitive lyricists? The Bevis Frond is guitarist and songwriter extraordinaire Nick Saloman, hailed by Rolling Stone's David Fricke as "a Hendrix devotee as thoughtful and contemporary as the jagged guitar choruses of Sonic Youth and the Pixies" and has become a cult figure in his own right.
Saloman, who pursues an uncompromising vision with his own label Vorontsov, is also a former co-editor of the esteemed Psych magazine “Ptolemaic Terrascope” and owner of a second-hand record shop in Sussex. Adored by his contemporaries, he has remained firmly in the periphery despite having enormous influence. Saloman has released no fewer than twenty-two albums under the name The Bevis Frond, with many collaborations and releases under various pseudonyms. He still sounds as brave today as he did back then and constantly writes about his musical journey that began as The Bevis Frond Museum and later as The Von Trap Family.
After a motorcycle accident that left him almost unable to play, he resurrected the name The Bevis Frond and used his compensation to set up a simple home recording studio. Armed with a four-track Portastudio, he began recording his completely self-produced, breathtaking debut 'Miasma'. He played and wrote everything on 'Misma' and released the record through his label. After a call from Margate-based Funhouse Records, who specialized in psychedelia, they requested the album. A few weeks later they requested more copies, which, completely amazed and now completely sold out, he reprinted. The following year, “Inner Marshland” (1987) followed, with the Anglophile dream world of “Termination Station Grey” and the epic psych-blues-rock rave “I’ve Got Eyes in the Back of My Head”.
