nme.comThe Horrors have announced details of an intimate London show and have teased there will be “new music very soon”.The band have not played live for two years, but in a social media post today (August 9), they have confirmed they will play The Shacklewell Arms on August 29.“It’s 19 years since we played our first show as the Horrors, almost to the day,” wrote frontman Faris Badwan. “It was August 8th 2005 when we performed at the Spread Eagle in Old Street, at a night Tom and I put on called “Cramped”.
We played for barely 15 minutes to about 30 of our friends.”A post shared by The Horrors (@thehorrors)“Now it’s 2024 and the Horrors are somehow still going.
We return to the Shacklewell – the studio we built was next door and we had it all through Skying/Luminous so we’ve spent a lot of time there.”“New music very soon, can’t wait to share it with you,” he added, tantalisingly.The Horrors’ last show was at Wide Awake Festival in London’s Brockwell Park in May 2022.
You have to go back to 2018 for their last extended run of concerts, which were in support of their most recent studio album ‘V’, released the previous year.The last word on them as a live band was that they had transitioned to a four-piece, as announced in late 2021.
