Jeff Lewis hearts Crass. Spread it.
benmarwood by ben marwood August 6th, 2007

Punk-lovin’ comic book artist and general antifolk genius Jeffrey Lewis (pictured with brother Jack) is to release an album of cover versions borrowed from Epping punk-rock anarchists Crass this autumn.

Released October 1st through Rough Trade in the UK, the self-produced 12 Crass Songs in question are:

‘End Result’
‘I Ain't Thick, It's Just a Trick’
‘Systematic Death’
‘The Gasman Cometh’
‘Banned From the Roxy’
‘Where Next Columbus?’
‘Do They Owe Us a Living?’
‘Securicor’
‘Demoncrats’
‘Big A, Little A’
‘Punk Is Dead’
‘Walls (Fun In the Oven)’

Formed in 1977, Crass actively promoted anarchy as a legitimate political ideology and resistance movement, a move which ultimately saw them harassed by Thatcher’s government under the Obscene Publications Act for their anti-Falklands single 'How Does It Feel To Be The Mother of 1,000 Dead?' before their dissolution in 1984.

The Jeff Lewis Band, meanwhile, are confirmed for the following venues on their forthcoming European tour:

September
16 Nr Salisbury End of the Road Festival @ Larmer Tree Gardens
17 Bristol Thekla Social (w/ Herman Dune)
18 Dublin Crawdaddy
19 Cork Crane Lane Theatre
20 Galway Roisin Dubh
21 Bradford Love Apple
22 Manchester Roadhouse
23 Middlesbrough Georgian Theatre
24 Leicester The Musician
26 Lyon Grrrnd Zero

29 Kingersheim Festival Illiko

14 London Brixton Windmill (daytime show)
14 Cambridge Portland Arms
15 Cardiff Clwb Ifor Bach
16 London 93 Feet East
