Avalanches of feedback and fuzzy black hair can only mean one thing—The Jesus and Mary Chain are back in town. In line with their usual unconventional style, the Glaswegian brothers have waited 18 years to release their sixth studio album Damage and Joy (2017). Characterised by its mix of dark, sinister vocals and white noise juxtaposed with a bit of psychedelic pop, time has not diminished their sound. Last year saw the Reid brothers celebrate three decades in the limelight, performing at festivals worldwide. Reports of diva-like antics at some recent shows did not get in the way of unforgettable performances. Razzmatazz will host the band, providing the perfect shadowy, low-key setting for the masters of melancholy. With an impressive 36 tour dates across Europe, the US and Canada, it looks as though their swan song is a long way off.
