Music News - JPSE Announce Tribute Show
22 March 2017 - 0 Comments
Perhaps the definitive band of Flying Nun Records' second wave, …. JPSE - not only left a memorable, and surprisingly diverse catalogue, but went on as individuals to play their part in several other classic acts. – Russell Brown, Audioculture.co.nz
The
Jean-Paul Sartre Experience will play a one off-show, Saturday 22nd April at the newly refurbished Hollywood
Theatre in Avondale to commemorate their friend and band mate
Jim Laing.
Along with special guests, Buzz Moller, Matthew Heine, Robert Key and Shayne P.
Carter, members of JPSE and Lanky will play favourite tracks from their
respective back catalogue.
With support from Motte,
films & projections by Matthew
Timpson, food by Langos and beer
by Garage Project,
this will be a night to remember.
On
the 12th of April 2016 musician and songwriter Jim Laing died
unexpectedly of natural causes. As a creative force Jim had left his mark
firstly as a member of Christchurch Flying Nun band The Jean-Paul Sartre
Experience and later as Lanky, one of the early acts to come out on Arch Hill
Records.
Jim’s slinky guitar lines, skills as a songwriter and plain old good guy-ness
endeared him to many. Robert Key and Jim’s firm friendship formed the basis of
Lanky (Laing & Key – get it?) and provided the perfect vehicle for Jim’s
songwriting right up to the day he died. UK based Fire Records had, only months
before, released I Like Rain: The Story of the Jean Paul Sartre Experience – a
complete collection of the JPS back catalogue. There had even been talk of
writing some more songs together. But time passed. It didn’t quite happen, and
then he was gone.
There’s a big gap left behind for many with Jim’s absence and, for a group of
us who were lucky enough to have shared a stage with him in one or other of his
musical endeavours, it feels right to perform a collection of his sly, sinuous,
snaky pop songs.
So join the remaining members of The Jean Paul Sartre Experience and
Lanky with guests Buzz Moller, Matthew Heine and Shayne P Carter
- bring a smile, raise a glass and whistle into the void.
