The New Mendicants
Finding themselves new neighbors in Canada, Glasgow- born Norman Blake and
Joe Pernice from Massachusetts began a low-key collaboration in a Toronto
tavern. Their performances were marked by plenty of banter, open-tunings and
sublime pop smarts. Now they bring their two-man show to the UK and Europe
under the guise of
The New Mendicants. Two of the most sublime and revered songwriters of the
‘90’s, Blake and Pernice between them have founded Teenage Fanclub, Scud
Mountain Boys, BMX Bandits and Pernice Brothers. Performing together on
stage, they delve into each other’s hefty back catalogues as well as their
new material. They are currently working on a full length album which they
expect to release later this year
