The Greep Show Takes The Stage

Perhaps it would be entered into the modern indy rock canon, when Geordie Greep, the celebrated London guitarist with the strangely pitched accent of a no longer existing european principality split from his band Black Midi, on the feels of a trio of increasingly sophisticated, largely successful releases, the last of which was named “a masterpiece” by no less than the Jon Pareles of the New York Times. Perhaps not. “​You ​do ​a ​band ​for ​a ​little ​bit, ​do ​it ​for ​three ​years, ​have ​a ​great ​vibe, ​and ​then ​finish. Nothing’s ​meant ​to ​go ​on ​forever ​and ​ever,” Greep was telling NME about this, some months after he announced his involvement in a new band called Geordie Greep And The Swing Boys, which made their live debut in a small club in Brixton, which he described as the beginning of a “new sound,” which a blogger at Stregogum would describe as “an oft-shifting junkyard pile of ideas.”
