Jarvis Cocker
Jarvis Cocker, under the name JARV, has announced a set of tiny UK shows including a date in Liverpool’s Williamson Tunnels and Getintothis’ Lewis Ridley has the news.
Jarvis Cocker has announced a UK tour this month where he and friends will play seven dates in intimate venues including Liverpool’s Williamson Tunnels on Wednesday, April 4.
Cocker, former front man of Pulp, begins the tour in Brighton and finishes with two dates in Castleton, near his native Sheffield.
“Most of the songs are new but some will be familiar”, said Cocker as a flurry of fans awaited news of tickets details.
Cocker will sing in the band, while Serafina Steer will play on harp and keyboards, Emma Smith on violin, Andrew McKinney on bass and Three Trapped Tigers‘ Adam Betts on drums in what’s being called JARV.
Cocker appeared at The KLF last August where he performed a set at The Florrie, read what Getintothis’ Gary Aster had to say here.

“JARV is entirely implausible
