London soul-punk outfit Gabi Garbutt and The Illuminations release their debut album The Discredited Language of Angels today through Music As Insurgent Art Records, and they’ll be celebrating with a gig at Paper Dress Vintage tonight alongside Sasha & The Shades, White Fever and Sabrina Kennedy.
They were recently hand picked to support The Libertines on their European tour, playing the legendary Paris Olympia on October 27, before heading to Cologne Calswerk Victoria (November 2), Munich Tonhalle Munchen (4) and Berlin Columbiahalle (5). Libertines bassist John Hassall, who met Garbutt through Y Tuesday, the London poetry night organised by his wife, invited the band to play the gigs and has also guested on a forthcoming collaborative track ‘Lady of Seville’.
Today we’re delighted to bring you an exclusive look at live footage from their show in Berlin.
I saw Gabi on this tour in Paris and they were absolutely brilliant, as were the Libertines.
