Brix & The Extricated, DJ Abigail Ward

The Rise, The Fall, and The Rise is the extraordinary story, in her own words, of Brix Smith Start. Best known for her work in The Fall at the time when they were perhaps the most powerful and influential anti- authoritarian postpunk band in the world -- This Nation's Saving Grace, The Wonderful and Frightening World Of ... -- Brix spent ten years in the band before a violent disintegration led to her exit and the end of her marriage with Mark E Smith.

Brix & The Extricated feature original Fall vixen Brix Smith-Start on guitar and vocals, powerhouse duo Steve Hanley on bass and brother Paul Hanley on drums ('The greatest rhythm section in rock n roll' – Luke Haines), Steve Trafford on guitar and vocals, and virtuoso Jason Brown on guitar, this is a dream line up for lovers of The Fall sound.
