“Dog Replica is the debut poetry collection from Blue Shout founder and Opus Kink frontman Angus Rogers. Blurring gothic-black visions of Azrael and dead dogs through the eyes of its post-nightmare protagonists, Dog Replica sweats mirth and folly and plays chicken with the waves.”

Next week it’s all aflame
Monday night reading poems at @thesociallondon for @whiterabbitbks x @smalldistractionsclub ❤️🔥 with @sillyfontaine@lias_saoudi@mrskydaddy and more… only a fiver to watch musicians not play any music in central London. Who said paradise was lost?
Friday it’s the jazz punk goth country witch disco band most wrongfully accused of ska @opuskink playing a relatively gargantuan show at the leccy ballroom. I don’t usually fuck with Camden but this promises to be a night that burns. There’s a choir and songs from our album which is coming out some point in the next 25 years. Afters at Quinn’s#
Then Saturday down to Brighton to close out @mutationsfestival at some ungodly hour which all said and done will literally be actually Sunday
What the FUCK?
Tickets for all available on the internet search engines
PORTO 🇵🇹 - Painted Bird & Sam Abbo (aka Angus & Sam from London’s @opuskink 🇬🇧) bring their gothic country music and doomsday freak-folk to Nope Pelmeni Bar on Saturday 11th October for their first solo performances in Porto, accompanied by a chorus of angels.
Join them for an evening of sad sweet music, cosmic dumplings and much good dark ale

This September 12th I’m one of the opening readers for the auld Dr @johncooperclarke at the George Tavern to celebrate 21 years of GRASS ROOTS exaltation, pain and mania at the venue. I’m glad to have been in its orbit for 6 or 7 of those. Rejoice
