Pulp frontman Jarvis Cocker has confirmed an album release date for the Room 29: Jarvis Cocker & Chilly Gonzales venture he first announced back in October.
To go with that previously detailed run at London’s Barbican Theatre between March 23rd-25th, the album version is due before on March 17th as Cocker and Gonzales present ‘a song-cycle concerning the goings-on in Room 29 of the Château Marmont hotel in Hollywood’.
“Featuring contributions from film historian David Thomson and the stories of famous former occupants of the room such as Jean Harlow and Howard Hughes, the show will also attempt to unpick the way a heady concoction dreamt up in the immediate vicinity of the hotel went on to intoxicate the entire population of planet Earth,” Cocker said of the live plans.
“For the duration of one evening the entire audience will be occupants of Room 29. You will be greeted by our concierge and you will be given a key. Sit down, get comfortable – it will be our pleasure to serve up a night of entertainment like no other.”
