Del Bel + Bry Webb = A Cure for Loneliness?
By jonny ~ Posted Sunday, May 13th 2012Wavelength has had a pretty action-packed spring - from Fresh Snow in a pod to AIDS Wolf's last show, not to mention Kid Koala's Space Cadet Headphone Experience and amazing sets by Kontravoid, Lucky Dragons, Isla Craig and more. But we're still pretty excited to see spring slide into summer on June 1st at the splendid 918 Bathurst Centre, with a triple bill featuring Lisa Bozikovic, Del Bel and former Constantines co-frontman, Bry Webb.
Del Bel are now out on an Eastern Canadian tour of "galleries, treehouses, theatres and bars" - and we're really curious to find out more about that treehouse venue, I gotta say - and the June 1st show will mark their Toronto homecoming. To send themselves off however, they sent a gift to the world in the form of "No Cure for Loneliness," a one-off single collaboration between the dark, bluesy cinematic crew and Bry Webb himself, a heartaching, head-nodding duet between Mr. Webb and Del Bel's Lisa Conway that gets under your skin in an instant. And it was recorded in an instant - live off the floor, "30's-style, one mic, all tape."
