Geordie Greep, February 7
Everyone loves an upgrade. So we’re chuffed to see that Geordie Greep’s February 7 show here in Boston has been bumped up to the Paradise Rock Club, allowing for a few hundred more spectators than what the originally-booked room of Brighton Music Hall could hold. And it makes sense, as the Black Midi co-founder is on a solo hot streak with the release of eccentric new album The New Sound, an expansive alternative pop record led by the tireless single “Holy, Holy.” Says Greep: “With recording The New Sound, it was the first time I have had no one to answer to. And with every impulse I had, I was able to completely follow it through to its conclusion. Being in a band (Black Midi), we often have this ‘we can do everything’ feeling, but you are also kind of limited in that approach, and sometimes it’s good to do something else, to let go of things.” Greep brought in more than 30 session musicians for the record, though we’re not sure how many bodies he’ll bring on stage with him next year. But all we really need is one. Tickets are on sale now.
