The Coveryard presents Caught Beneath the Landslide
October 21, 2022 @ 7:00 PM - 10:30 PM
Event Navigation
The Coveryard’s eight-piece ensemble of composer-performers is bringing their trademark genre-smashing antics to a brand-new live show, ransacking the ruins of the end of history to reassemble a multi-layered musical portrait of the golden years of Britpop.
Join us for an intensely relaxed evening of live music as we deep dive into the ‘official’ Britpop era of 1993–97 — from Modern Life is Rubbish and Maybe, to OK Computer and Spiceworld — and reanimate a musical movement that vowed to live forever.
Expect megahits from Britpop’s so-called ‘Big Four’ and cult classics from their guitar-wielding fellow travellers. Expect a few provocative picks from some of the pioneering UK artists and styles that evaded the ‘Britpop’ label, whether trip hop, big beat or acid jazz. Most of all, expect the unexpected as we pull apart, reinvent and mash together some of the most iconic music of the ‘90s, casting a sideways glance at the decade’s wry mix of hedonism and mundanity, back when things could only get better.
About the Coveryard
The Coveryard is a UK-based collective of composers and musicians working across musical styles and genres. Since 2012, they have programmed and produced live music shows across London that explore the concept of the cover version: most recently, in a series of gigs at St John’s Hoxton celebrating the music of the Smiths, Fleetwood Mac and Paul Simon. Freely mixing traditions from folk and jazz, rock and electronic, chamber and early music, the Coveryard is committed to rearrangement, reinterpretation and reinvention.
