All your love

Lover! capped a swell night of greasy rock'n'roll with some sweet'n'sour Memphis confections much in the vein of Jay Reatard's work. As a recording artist, Lover! is one guy, Rich Crook. On stage, he's joined by members of the Black and Whites: Talbot Adams on bass, guitarist Johnny Valiant and drummer Patrick McKeage.



Shortly after Crook discarded his Ibanez Destroyer and switched to a trusty SG.



Big hit from Patrick!



Johnny Valiant sings!



Crook goes down!



Talbot swings his bass around a lot, resulting in frequent ducking from yours truly.



And so on!








A zippy show with lots of dancing girls and bad language.

• Show reminder: Sadie Hell, Musk Ox and Jill Zmud, plus a bunch of comedians, play the Shanghai Restaurant for the benefit of children in Malawi.
