About the show
Purveyor of odd pop, twisted ballads and audience banter, Scott Lavene is a born storyteller. Through his records, and his writing Scott Lavene has long been populating a hallucinogenic world of his own creation with ne’er do wells, ragamuffins and eccentrics.
From a man draining the blood of property agents in the aid of local businesses, to a talking horse who travels Europe selling hash, gambling and performing covers of Talking Heads, his latest album "Disneyland In Dagenham" is no exception. It’s a record that tumbles together the autobiographical and the imagined, the heart-breaking and the preposterous.
With songs including "Waitrose Has Run Out of Lobsters", "Sadly I'm Not Steve McQueen" and "Custard" you may just be about to discover your new favourite artist
"A master storyteller." Tom Robinson, BBC 6Music.

"Any 'best albums of 2019' lists that don't have Scott Lavene's 'Broke' near the top are bull****" - Dangerous Minds
“Sounds like an updated version of something that Stiff records would have released in the 70’s.” - Steve Lamacq

Featuring
Scott Lavene
Born in Essex, Scott Lavene was raised on power ballads, punk and swearing. In bands since his teens, Scott travelled about, scratching out a living with deadbeat jobs trying to find something to cling to. After couple of years in France and a brief stint in New York, including a playing at the infamous CBGB’s Scott returned to London and came close to a major label deal with his sordid songs. Instead Scott disappeared on a rusty old boat, a floating shed, for five years. Hiding from the world. Broke and bemused. Solitude and lonely debauchery. After five years of this Scott went kaput, so spent some time in a house for the bewildered where he emerged full of life and songs
