Transvision Vamp singer Wendy James to perform in Buckley
The singer will take to the stage at the Tivoli on Saturday, October 25, as part of a UK tour in support of recently released album 'The Shape of History.' The album, which is the tenth solo album by the Transvision Vamp lead singer, was written, produced, and mixed by James herself. It was recorded in West London and New York City, and is available digitally, on deluxe vinyl, and on deluxe CD. James will be accompanied on tour by a full band, including Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds' Jim Sclavunos on drums and Alex Ward on guitar. They will be playing songs from across all of her albums. Reflecting on 'The Shape of History,' James said: "My songwriting has always been a wide mix of sounds, which naturally reflect the different music and references I have and love. "'The Shape Of History' was recorded on Scrubs Lane, West London, with Alex Ward, Harry Bohay, and James Sclavunos. "I then went off to NYC and Brooklyn to record the pianos and organs with Dave 'The Moose' Sherman. "Overdubbing continued with Al Lawson at the engineering helm in his Shepherd's Bush studio and then I went back to Berkeley, California to mix with Jesse Nichols before mastering with Fred Kevorkian in Brooklyn, New York. "I have spent so much time with this music, I know it note-for-note and love it, and am so happy for you to make it your own now. "'The Shape Of History' has a lot about love in it, a lot about appreciation of oneself, one's life and, importantly, of others. "It is life's arc of starting out, blooming into something and in some ways maturing. "I don't think my music has got older, I know I've not gone mellow! "My attitude can be more ferocious and fearless than ever, but there is an acquired wisdom, which naturally comes after having been alive for a few decades! "'The Shape Of History' is a love letter and a thank you note to life so far. "The culmination of my tenth album is the result of co-musicians and engineers who I've worked with previously and with whom I share a language. "We know each other, we choose to work together. "We enjoy each other's talents and personalities.
