Mclusky Dudes Return as Future of the Left
Following the break-up of short-lived but much-loved Welsh trio Mclusky, former frontman Andy Falkous is going back to the future, embarking on a new project with ex-Mclusky drummer Jack William Egglestone and bassist/vocalist Kelson Louis Tregurtha Mathias. (I'm loving these Welsh prep school boy names!). Falkous plays guitar and provides vocals for the Cardiff-based trio, who came together originally last year as a quartet and call themselves Future of the Left.
Future of the Left has posted a few demos on their MySpace, where they've described themselves as "beholden to loud rock music." Expect them to rock loudly at a smattering of shows around the UK this September, beginning tonight.
09-01 London, England - Monarch
09-02 Brighton, England - Engine Rooms
09-08 Southampton, England - Joiners Arms
09-09 Bath, England - Moles
09-10 Cardiff, Wales - Clwb Ifor Bach
As for other Mclusky members, ex-bassist Jon Chapple recently put out an album with Shooting at Unarmed Men (for which he handles guitar/vocals), while ex-ex-drummer Mat Harding is lending his stick skills to kooky Cornish band Bugga.
