Gruff Rhys, Jim James new on the bill for London’s In The Round event

Gruff Rhys and Jim James are new on the bill for the In The Round event which will be taking place in London between January 22nd-31st 2019.

Patti Smith, This Is The Kit and Ronnie Spector & The Ronettes are some of the acts already down to play the city’s Roundhouse venue next year, and Gruff Rhys has joined up for January 24th with My Morning Jacket frontman Jim James following on the 29th.

Live4ever just recently caught Gruff Rhys live in Bristol, finding an artist on the verge of becoming ‘a national treasure‘:

“The very notion would probably repel the Super Furry Animals frontman. Both his band and the man himself have always been more comfortable operating on the outskirts; when they tasted a bit of mainstream success back in the 90s, rather than smarten up their appearance by wearing more expensive clothes or playing the media game, our heroes as usual subverted expectations by dressing up as Yetis.”

“And so the subversion continues into Rhys’ solo career. Entering the stage to a knowingly butchered version of the 2001: A Space Odyssey theme, we are all cordially invited to visit Babelsberg.”
