Art Brut Set Up Shop

Dearest Internet

For as long as there has been rags there have been the gentlemen of the road. The domestically indecisive. The transient, the hobo, the boho, the tramp, the gypsy, the hippy. We are told to shun these sub sects. Without your foundations firmly planted in the earth you less of a human, more a tumble weed. Or what appears to be a tumble weed but is in fact a collection of crisp packets.Well, if we hate this perpetual diaspora then we must also hate our beloved Art Brut for they too have had no home. For years, the airport lounge, the railway carriage, the Travelodge lobby, the slow boat to Amsterdam were the only spots they could rest their worn, dusty boots.

But no more... The road is no longer their home, the sea no longer their mistress. On the upcoming excursion to the New World, a select few cities will see our gentlemen and lady board themselves in at their venue of choosing and play each night, a little like a house band... but not. Expect surprises, covers and possibly even a kitchen as Art Brut build a house and invite you to stay. Who's house!?

yours restlessly
