Huddersfield rock band The Scaramanga Six visit The Smokehouse to promote their new album ‘Worthless Music’ released in December 2021.
The Scaramanga Six, purveyors of cinematic punk and evil pop are back on tour to celebrate the release of their sterling new album 'Worthless Music'. They are supported by the scabrous (yet salacious) Stephen Evens Band, the East Anglian Adventure Pop pioneers, The Interesting Times Gang, and the melodic and spirited Elly Tree.
Not since Cardiacs trod the boards has there been a band and support acts so worthy of laudation.
Price is £6 plus Eventbrite's processing charge... which is a steal, quite frankly!
People of Ipswich, make your way to the Smokehouse on Saturday 12th February. Earphones are optional but recommended.
"Music is worthless. We in The Scaramanga Six have known this for a very long time but yet still persist, bloody in mind and nose. Embracing relative obscurity for a more comfortable life. Double, triple and quadruple lives in fact. As irrelevant now as when we first formed back in the mid 90’s. Remaining stoic and resolute.
It has been four years since the release of ‘Chronica’, our previous dystopic long-player that stretched itself like a resting alligator across four sides of vinyl. A great deal has happened since then – our minds and bodies have been tested, finances and sanity stretched. The flaming shopping trolley of life continues to hurtle down the embankment toward the nettles, only this time without a wheel. What have we learned? Sod all, that’s what. Yet somehow, even worthless music is more vital than ever.
We are honoured to bring you ‘WORTHLESS MUSIC’, our 10th long player. A collection of 14 tracks, epic in scope and ambition. This time, we lack a central theme – instead a myriad of subjects: wrestles with conscience, domestic frustration, awake-dreams, drudgery and even fishing drowning dogs out of canals.
Plaudits are starting to make their voices heard on this colossal compendium, for instance:
“They are the greatest band in the world” – non-comital and impartial view from JOYZINE there: https://joyzine.org/2021/11/30/album-review-the-scaramanga-six-worthless-music/?fbclid=IwAR1J_mxj0gN7ryQRgJ6872hpmGmfn2hZ4ZdgtECjLnG5rjcb3a76ZrFPcUU
“Music to quite fancy” says CLASSIC ROCK Magazine with 7/10 rating (which everyone knows is more like a 9 or 10 for a band with no advertising budget)."
