Blurt

Thursday, 20 May

Rough Trade East, 91 Brick Lane, Whitechapel, E1 6QL

Live Music: , Rock, Jazz, Indie, Punk

How Much: Free!

The legendary Factory label's legacy will never cease to fascinate, as proved by the release of another book about its "rise and fall" that's being launched tonight at Rough Trade East.

For the occasion, Factory-related jazz-post-punk band Blurt (they only released a few tracks on the label because they were unsatisfied with its constant delays!) will perform a short in-store gig.

A rare opportunity to experience in real life their frenetic no-wave jazz, and to realise that their frontman, Ted Milton, may in fact be a British and slightly less funky equivalent of James Chance.

Please note: no wristband for this gig, just head down.
