Cyber punk poetry. Futuristic beats. Apocalyptic bass. Truthfully told. Visceral. ‘therevella’ produces vibrant soundscapes and the stories of loss, grief and redemption inspire. “Ain’t nothing gonna hold me back!”
The house lights dim and silence envelops as the atmosphere tightens, thickens, tenses. A spotlight shines, revealing our artist, perched upon a stool, alone.Otherworldly sounds emanate. “I feel a feeling, turning round inside. I got to!” comes booming through the speaker system.The sparse, almost drum less, intensely atmospheric music and sharp poetry, ebb, and flow in harmony, rising with each verse, building, then falling, before coming to a riotous finale. And that’s just the first track.‘Lemonade and Silver Linings’ begins, and the audience are being told to “sit back” because “we (the artists) are taking the trouble the time, to help you relax and unwind”.The crisp beats and deep throbbing bass are infectious, while the imaginative use of synths hold your attention, lift the mood, and really emphasize the wordplay.A reverse cymbal sounds, “It’s time to step inside!” And you’ve entered another time and space.‘Skank’ will see heads nod and feet tap. You’ll be wanting to move, and, of course, dancing is encouraged.And all before the highlight of the show, his new Ep. ‘Rage’Shockingly thought provoking, mesmerizing, humorous.‘therevella’ uses intricate and contagious wordplay to pique and hold your interest as he gives you snapshots of a wide range of relatable scenarios, as seen through his own, and the eyes of others.Loss, grief, mental battles. Work life, love life. Hedonism.Feelings of dread and despair are soon dispersed by redemption, elation and joy. Melancholy becomes hope. Hate becomes love. Dark becomes light. Intense, horrific, heartwarming and hopeful. A real delight.Prepare to enter the world of ‘therevella’.Throughout the evening ‘therevella’ will be joined by an array of guest performers and artists.Set times and acts to be confirmed.
