Damon Albarn, Jarvis to Perform at Scott Walker Gigs

Damon Albarn, Jarvis to Perform at Scott Walker Gigs

As we mentioned way back in July, Scott Walker will decidedly not be lending his voice to Drifting and Tilting: The Songs of Scott Walker, a new orchestral production "conceived" by Walker and focusing on the former boy wonder's gloriously weird Tilt and The Drift LPs.

His stand-ins, however? Truly first-rate. Jarvis Cocker and Damon Albarn lead a crew that also includes Dot Allison and Gavin Friday (The Virgin Prunes), among others. Additional special guests are promised, so who knows who else might show up? The performances will take place at London's Barbican Theatre November 13-15.

Thanks to reader Nick Wrigley for the tip.
