Chris Knox's 'Friend' Debut Performance

The debut performance of Chris Knox's artier side 'Friend' is going to be an interesting one!

He will be playing three nights in a row at the Capitol Cinema as live accompaniment to a fantastically oddball Danish silent movie called 'Haxan: Witchcraft Through The Ages'.

This is an all-analogue, all keyboard thing with no previously prepared backing tracks or any of that nonsense, sorta like a non-song Tall Dwarfs without Alec Bathgate's musical and technical ability.

The film is great, Friend will be.. at the very least interesting. Chris will be dealing with an overdubbed William S Burroughs partial voiceover too - it's part of the Incredible Film Festival and the facts and figures are here:

'Haxan: Witchcraft Through The Ages'

Capitol Cinema (corner Dominion and Balmoral Roads)
Thursday 19, Friday 20 and Saturday 21 June.

Start: 8pm (all evenings)
