CONCERT
Saturday 29 November, 00:00Élysée Montmartre, 75018 [map]
Wild Bunch graduate and reluctant
Massive Attack member Tricky brings his deep west country beats to Paris. After reported fall-outs between Tricky and Suede man
Bernard Butler delayed his new album (seems Mr Butler wanted a co-production credit which Tricky wasn't prepared to give), the new work "
Knowle West Boy" is finally out. From the sardonic bar-room blues of Puppy Toy to the haunting quasi-classicism of Joseph; from the twisted Specials-worshipping punk of Council Estate to the bereft torchery of Past Mistake; from the Roxy Music's The Bogus Man-at-the-dancehall art-stomp of Bacative to the poignant autobiographical tale of teen pregnancy that is School Gates, Knowle West Boy sees our misunderstood hero reaching into the post-punk, Two-Tone, reggae, hip hop and pure pop he grew up adoring.
