Lift to Experience are a band whose debut LP 'The Texas-Jerusalem Crossroads' means an immense amount to a select few. The band are currently on something of a hiatus (possibly eternally) following a series of arguments and tragic events.

The driving force behind ...Experience, one Josh T Pearson has been working on solo material for a little while now and will be landing in the UK with his acoustic guitar this September.

The dates are on a joint-headlining basis with Bella Union's Bikini Atoll and the Archie Bronson Outfit.

September
8 GLASGOW King Tuts (with BIKINI ATOLL)
9 EDINBURGH The Venue (with BIKINI ATOLL)
10 ABERDEEN Tunnels (with BIKINI ATOLL)
11 HULL Adelphi (with BIKINI ATOLL)
13 YORK Fibbers (with ARCHIE BRONSON OUTFIT)
14 NEWCASTLE Cluny (with ARCHIE BRONSON OUTFIT)
16 MANCHESTER Bierkeller (with ARCHIE BRONSON OUTFIT)
18 NOTTINGHAM Social (with ARCHIE BRONSON OUTFIT and BIKINI ATOLL)
19 LEICESTER Charlotte (with ARCHIE BRONSON OUTFIT)
20 BRISTOL Fleece (with ARCHIE BRONSON OUTFIT)
22 SALISBURY Old Ale House (with ARCHIE BRONSON OUTFIT)
23 LONDON Camden Barfly (with ARCHIE BRONSON OUTFIT)

Mr. Pearson has stated that the shows could be a precursor to a possible solo LP early in 2006. Nice.

BUSTED. Damn you Sean...

This will be one of the greatest gigs ever if his last solo show is to be rivalled.

Buy your tickets now. Actually, wait til I've bought mine,

A brilliant band.

I didn't know about tragedies but did wonder what had happened to the follow-up album, as when i caught a few words with tall Josh (not cuddly Josh) a while back, it seemed like everything was set out and planned for the newy. Glad he's still kickin shit tho. Highly charismatic geezer.

Amazing news. I always listened to the (fantastic) album with an air of sadness because I thought they'd never do anything else - not any more! I'm going to get home from work, stick it on and dance around like a loon. Time for a trip to Bristol...

There was a revealing and quite upsetting interview with JTP in Loose Lips Sink Ships last year... I can't quote it or anything but it seemed he'd had more than his fair share of psychological demons, scrapped recordings and then fallen out with both the other guys. There were some family bereavements that hit hard in the ranks too, I think. Anyway, good to see he's up and about again - the two occasions I saw Lift To Experience in Cardiff were really powerful stuff.

The Lift to Experience album is one of a handful of "truly amazing" records released in the past five years.

I've been waiting for John Pearson to raise his head again - and will definitely be at the London gig.
