Hello there, how are you? Oh well, I am sure it will clear up. Anyway here is the set I played at the penultimate Mutant Music at The Flying Duck.
I hardly ever do acoustic gigs, mostly I spend my time owning stages with my rock and roll band The Elvis Suicide. However, now and again duty calls (like my set at the Springsteen night for Splendid Dead) and when duty calls, Devotion answers. Or lets it go to voicemail, it all depends how I’m feeling.
Whenever I pull out old glory (that’s my acoustic guitar, not my penis, I call him “The Captain”) it’s usually because I feel inspired by the greats of country music (Williams, Cash, Cyrus).
Of course, when I wrote down the set list for this gig I realised that the above routine leads to a wrist-slashing smorgasbord of misery-guts songs, with a subject matter that ranges from death, woman troubles, getting stuck talking to annoying cunts at parties, woman troubles, economic woes, woman troubles and the process of writing songs (about woman troubles).
Basically the stuff that all the best songs are written about.
Enjoy.
When I’m Gone
Center Of Attention
Broken Man
This Must Be A Dream
Let Down
I Aint Got No Home
That Look In Your Eye
(Please) Dont Go!
Everybody Knows That I Like A Good Time
Song For A Girl
Going Back To Loneliness
You Shouldn’t Be With Him, You Should Be With Me
Don’t Worry Honey, We Can Still Be Friends
Slippin’ And Slidin’
