Ter­ry Bick­ers, leg­endary founder mem­ber and gui­tarist of House of Love fame has announced three inti­mate shows and there’s new music – under wraps for now – to come too.

The orig­i­nal band’s phe­nom­e­nal first album House of Love in 1990 still sounds as fresh now as it did on its release – tracks like Shine On and Nev­er plus the con­fes­sion­al and dra­mat­ic In A Room. Ter­ry Bick­ers left the band in 1993 and went on to form Lev­i­ta­tion and oth­er projects. He and founder HoL part­ner Guy Chad­wick mend­ed their cre­ative dif­fer­ences and Bick­ers returned to House of Love in the 2000s for a time.

He’s now about to release his first new music since 2017, with The Inner Spi­ral. Bick­ers has enlist­ed a cast of high­ly ver­sa­tile play­ers to per­form the new work that promis­es to be semi-auto­bi­o­graph­i­cal by nature, scin­til­lat­ing by execution. 

With influ­ences as far flung and dis­parate as The Blue Nile, Mag­a­zine, The The & The Vel­vet Under­ground, details of the new mate­r­i­al remain under wraps for now but promise of being unlike any­thing Ter­ry has put his name to before. Look out for new track Keep­ers out soon.

The wider stu­dio project is con­firmed to fea­ture con­tri­bu­tions from House of Love Matt Jury (bass), Pete Evans (drums), for­mer Milk and Hon­ey Band mem­ber Dan Burke (vocals, gui­tar and key­boards), The Trudy’s Melis­sa Jo Heath­cote (vocals & key­boards), and Jacque­line Atwood (sax­o­phone); all of whom will also fea­ture in the Ter­ry Bick­ers & The Inner Spi­ral live band.

Says Bick­ers: “Hav­ing been stage left or at the back for over two decades it’s excit­ing to be fronting a band again and work­ing with such great musicians!”
