**FIRST 50 TICKETS FREE** The first in a new recurring showcase featuring emerging artists Big Red - the solo writing vehicle of Joseph Scarisbrick - introduce themselves with their immediate and tense debut single “Isn’t He Funny?”. Originally conceived as a home for songs that sat outside the world of his other project, The Orchestra (For Now), the band has evolved into a three-piece alongside drummer Charlie Hancock and bassist/vocalist Millie Kirby. With more music to be announced this year, the new single marks something of a new chapter for Scarisbrick. Where his previous work frequently relied on dense references and literary allusion across The Orchestra (For Now)’s Plan 75 and Plan 76, this new endeavour takes a more direct approach. The writing is confessional and brutally honest, the music stripped back and candid; a band playing together in real time. Following the new single, Big Red will play their first headline date at London’s Third Man Records in the Blue Basement next week. They are also slated to play End Of The Road Festival in early September. Big Red Stand To Order Adachi, Anon Ears To The Ground www.eyesofftheclock.com
