In celebration of the new Cardiacs book released by Melodic Virtue, Cardiacs: A Big Book and a Band and the Whole World Window, Jon Mueller will play records from throughout the cult band's history, from the raw, yet complex songs of the 70s and 80s, to the powerful and ultra-polished masterpieces of the 90s. Never heard of them? You're not alone, but join us on this night for perhaps one of the most gratifying and exciting listening experiences of your life!
Cardiacs are an English rock band formed in 1977, originally as Cardiac Arrest, led by Tim Smith. Noted for their complex, varied and intense compositional style and for their eccentric, theatrical stage shows, they have been hailed as an influence by bands as diverse as Blur, Faith No More and Radiohead. www.cardiacs.net
