Damon & Naomi + Richard Youngs
Entry Requirements: Over 18s only
**IMPORTANT UPDATE:
Earlier this evening Damon unfortunately tested positive for covid, meaning he will no longer be able to make tonight’s performance in the interest of everyone’s safety. Damon is really disappointed to be unable to play and sends his heartfelt apologies to everyone. However, we are delighted to say that the show WILL go ahead, with a set from Naomi, who will be joined by our opening act Richard Youngs, performing a set of Damon & Naomi songs. We wish Damon a speedy recovery and are grateful to Naomi and Richard for putting together a special show for everyone at the eleventh hour!**
Damon Krukowski and Naomi Yang began playing music together as the rhythm section, co-songwriters, and sometime singers in Galaxie 500. The band’s three influential albums were genre-defying landmarks of atmospheric post-punk, inspiring many who followed in their wake. Since the demise of Galaxie 500, Damon & Naomi have worked as a duo, exploring folk music, psychedelia, and collaborations with like-minded musicians. After a series of recordings for Sub Pop, they established their own label 20/20/20. Their latest, A Sky Record, was released in August 2021.
