Sylvia Powell: ilikemusic because... It can make me happy yet it can make me feel sad. It helps me remember, but it can also make me forget. Most of all I like music because it makes me feel alive.

Ellen, Los Campesinos: ilikemusic because... It’s the best form of escapism that you can have wherever you are. You could be completely miserable or waiting for a bus and put on any song that inspires you and you can escape into a little world, well that’s what I tend to do anyway.Critically acclaimed French-American folk roots quintet Moriarty return to the UK in November for their eagerly anticipated debut UK headline tour that includes a London show at Dingwalls. Moriarty have been steadily building a loyal fan base in the UK supporting Son of Dave, Jane Birkin and The Dø, as well as playing several sold out headline shows in London. In their native France, Moriarty have sold in excess of 125,000 copies of their debut album, Gee Whiz But This Is A Lonesome Town, on cool independent label Naïve.
Moriarty are Rosemary Moriarty (singer, xylophone, thumb piano, spoons, tambourine, scotch-tape trumpet), Arthur Moriarty (acoustic guitars, drum-suitcase, piano), Zim Moriarty (double-bass, acoustic guitar, music box, suitcase drums), Thomas Moriarty (chromatic and diatonic harmonicas, kazoo, drilling machines, jew's harp) & Charles Moriarty (electric and resonator guitars). Moriarty also play with Vincent Talpaert Moriarty (drums/double bass) & Eric Tafani Dubessay Moriarty (drums).
Dressing like prohibition outlaws, their beguiling theatrical performances float between folk, country, blues and cabaret, set somewhere around Dallas in the 1930's, the Russian Taïga and Paris. An infectious melody is carried by the luminous and unique vocals of Rosemary, supported by unsettling lyrics and oozing train-like beats. Formed in Paris at the turn of the century, the five musicians write songs like novels or short movies. With identities split between America and Europe they are guided by the surreal, believing in an animist fashion that some objects have a soul: a squeaking floorboard, a hotel bell, the rhythm produced when battering a well-travelled suitcase, a taxicab dispatch microphone, a whisk and other chance findings crawl into their songs. Do not miss this unique and creative band when they play the following dates:

2nd Bristol - Louisiana
3rd London - Dingwalls
