On Friday the 27th September ROPE will be hosting it’s second show in as many days at the Central Station venue, Wrexham. This time we will be welcoming back an old friend in the way of Charlie Boyer and the Voyeurs
Charlie Boyer and the Voyeurs look, act and sound like a band that’s joined at the hip. While a statement made in a recent NME interview (Charlie said that they set out to make “primitive, sexy, glamorous rock’n’roll”) may have been intended as throwaway at the time, it neatly surmised the band’s ethos. Physically, they look like the louche-est gang in town. Musically they conjure a mesmerizing garage racket — a sound as heavy as it is direct, primitive in the best possible way. Although there are time-honoured musical elements (there are nods to – amongst others — the Velvets, Spacemen 3 and T-Rex), in the hands of the Voyeurs it’s all warped into a feral monolithic trance; simple and viciously effective
“Charlie Boyer and The Voyeurs came to our attention supporting TOY earlier this year. Perfectly channeling mid-70s NYC art punk in the back room of a scuzzed up East End pub, Charlie took the sounds of one blank generation and blasted them out to another. Only took a minute before we were sold.” HEAVENLY RECORDINGS, summer 2012
