Beck announces second low-key London gig

Beck will follow-up his hastily announced gig at London’s Omeara venue last night with another low-key capital gig at the Electric Ballroom on October 13th.

Beck is also live on the UK’s Later…With Jools Holland programme tomorrow as preparations step up for the release of Colors this coming Friday. “I suppose the record could have come out a year or two ago,” he’s previously told Rolling Stone.

“But these are complex songs all trying to do two or three things at once. It’s not retro and not modern. To get everything to sit together so it doesn’t sound like a huge mess was quite an undertaking.”

“I’ve always been doing my thing. I feel like more and more I have a sort of open passport where I just go in and go out, away from the eye of the hurricane. It’s interesting.”
