Árni Árnason, bassist for the Vaccines (pictured second from the right), has announced a solo show and shared two tracks.
He will play the Finsbury in London on October 28, backed by former Vaccines drummer Pete Robertson and Babyshambles bassist Drew McConnell. Support will come from Sløtface and Less Win, while tickets are on sale now, priced at £5.00, plus fees.
Despite the songs and upcoming show Árni has made it clear that he does not necessarily have a solo project in mind. He said [via NME]:
“A project implies a goal or a result of some description and I think I’m approaching this in the absolute opposite way. I want to do this as un-pro and as ‘for the fuck of it’ as I can. This is not a Project, but an Outlet.
It’s simple and honest. I haven’t got a strategy – let alone a release – in mind. I’ve always just made music for the fuck of it and I’ll release it if and whenever I want to.
I’ve got a junkyard of a studio which serves as a constant inspiration. Surrounding yourself with a bunch of knock-off brands and shitty 80s synths naturally lends itself to silly sonic experiments.
I wrote a bunch of songs at the beginning of the year and this Depresso Tropicana vibe came very naturally to me. I’ve always hated my nasal baritone voice, but it seems to make sense with the music I’ve been writing lately. Anyway, I’m embracing it. It’s simple and honest.”
Arni Upcoming Tour Dates are as follows
Fri October 28 2016 - LONDON Finsbury
