GAVIN FRIDAY, former frontman of once-upon-a-time Irish new wave outsiders
Virgin Prunes (1977-1986) released his splendid 5th solo LP Ecce Homo in 2024.

Friday announced a new project, a companion album to Ecce Homo,
titled DECADANCE. It’ll feature 6 reimagined tracks from the original
record as one continuous electronic work.

Created with longtime collaborator Michael Heffernan, ‘Decadance‘ draws on
industrial rhythms, analogue electronics, techno pulse and cinematic sound
design. Familiar melodies emerge from driving sequencers, fractured beats
and expansive atmospheres, revealing a darker, more hypnotic perspective
on the emotional world of ‘Ecce Homo‘.

With LADY ESQUIRE, we get a first sneak peek.

Last Sunday, in blazing hot weather circumstances, Friday played
an entrancing set at Lokerse Feesten – Belgium. He and his band
sweat their butts off to entertain us and succeeded fantastically.
Hail hail.
