Wreckless Eric at The Baby G
Transmit Presents...
Wreckless Eric is Eric Goulden. He was given the name to hide behind. After a while he realized he was stuck with it. Onstage he hides behind nothing, he tells the truth with big open chords, lilting enchantment, squalls of feedback, dissonance, bizarre stories and backchat.
Eric began his recording life on Stiff Records in 1977 with his enduring hit Whole Wide World when he was little more than an ex-teenage art student. Eventually he sidestepped the mechanics of stardom to become Britains biggest underground household name, much loved and often underestimated.
He shuns the dictates of nostalgia and doesnt do comebacks for the simple reason that he never went away. His 2015 album amERICa reminded those whove kept the faith and new generations of fans what hes all about.
Many artists of Wreckless Erics era and tradition have imitators, but few of yesteryears outliers can catch up with their descendants, let alone best them. amERICa is that rare record. Pitchfork
He wont recreate 1978 for you, hell blow your mind instead.
Forty two years of touring and recording have left Eric in good shape and his brand new album Construction Time & Demolition does exactly what the title suggests. Hes coming to town.
