Part of a series of late night sessions curated by Finn Peters [The Grip] for the
London Jazz Festival.
Prescott is the brainchild of former Stump bassist Kev Hopper, who's distinctive
bass style was one of the most striking elements of the band's sound during the
1980s. Alongside Hopper is Rhodri Marsden [Scritti Politti] on keys and Frank
Byng [Snorkel] on drums. They recently released their debut ‘One Did’ to
Critical acclaim.
"Prescott make music that is hilarious as it is infuriating. Hopper's bouncing twang
grabs hold of Byng's metronomic dub-funk rhythms, with Marsden adding tight
slashes of discordant electric piano and crumpled clavichord scrunches… neatly
positioning Prescott - and Slowfoot - in a fictional and slightly skewed parallel
universe where wayward British eccentrics lurk at every turn." [The Wire]
