Devendra Banhart is a bit of a genius. In the space of two short years, he’s grown from making terrifying borderline-evil nursery rhymes, through having a song featured on an album for cheese, to making his breathtaking forthcoming album Cripple Crow.
The first single, I Feel Just Like A Child, sounds like a bastard-child of Sympathy For The Devil, and that’s always a good thing.
Even better, Devendra’s on tour from Wednesday. You can see him at:
July
Wednesday 27th – Galway Roisin Dubh
Friday 29th – Dublin The Village
Saturday 30th – Belfast Empire Music Hall
August
Monday 1st – Edinburgh Liquid Rooms
Tuesday 2nd Manchester Comedy Store
Wednesday 3rd Leeds City Variety
Monday 8th Cardiff Coal Exchange
Tuesday 9th Brighton Concorde 2
Thursday 11th London KOKO
\r\nFriday 12th Bristol Trinity Centre
Saturday 13th Summer Sundae Festival, Leicester
For a taster of what\’s in store, have a listen to
the Cripple Crow album sampler here:

There may be a few opportunities for interviews
with the great man when he\’s over, so if you have
some good ideas for a feature, drop me a line!\r\n
All the best,
