Lloyd Cole

Rattlesnakers

Lloyd Cole started his career with Lloyd Cole and the Commotions. In addition to their debut album, folk rock album 'Rattlesnakes' was also a great success, known for hit singles 'Perfect Skin' and 'Forest Fire'. In 1989, Lloyd Cole also started making music under his own name. Cole has already released eleven solo albums.

This fall he will bring his solo work to Melkweg in two different sets. In addition to a solo acoustic set, he will play an electric set with a band consisting of Commotions founders Blair Cowan and Neil Clark, and Icelandic drummer Signy Jakobsdottir.

Cole's solo work still echoes the folk of Commotions, but also draws influences from psych, country and soul. On the 2019 album 'Guesswork', Cole even experimented with electronics in the form of drum machines!

This evening focuses on Lloyd Cole's twelfth studio album 'On Pain', which will be released in June 2023. On this album we also find songs written by Blair Cowan and Neil Clark.
