Black Box Recorder play comeback show

Black Box Recorder played their first headline show in over five years last night with the first of two gigs at the Luminaire in Kilburn.

The band performed tracks from all three of their albums, as well as a number of B-sides and new songs, NME reports.

Guitarist Luke Haines said that the new tunes, entitled 'Keep It In The Family' and 'Do You Believe In God?', would appear on the band's forthcoming "political album, especially for the recession".

"It's going to be like Crass, only from the opposite end of the political spectrum and with better songs," he added.

Of the second song, bandmate John Moore said: "If this isn't number one by Christmas, the question will be answered once and for all."

The band first reformed in December last year to play on the bill of the Nick Sanderson Tribute Concert alongside British Sea Power and The Jesus and Mary Chain.

Black Box Recorder follow up the sold out show with another at the same venue on February 24.
