Here’s a little piece of history for you.  Nearly eighteen months ago, just prior to the band’s trip to New York and the subsequent acoustic recording session that became the Great Fears & Curious Predictions EP, Lupen Crook performed a solo gig at The Slaughtered Lamb in London.

The gig was an opportunity to test out a few new songs.  Amongst these were Beauties & Beasts and Window Pain & Terrible Weather, both now on the new EP.  An evolving version of Beauties & Beasts became a semi-regular feature of both solo and band sets throughout 2008.

However, so far this remains the only time that Mr Crook has performed Window Pain & Terrible Weather live.  He swears that it will never happen again, for reasons undisclosed.  So, enjoy this fleeting glimpse of the tale of the brittle bones, the broken band and the SA-10 sounds.
