Louder AAA
Robert Fripp and his beloved bride Toyah Willcox have returned with a brand new episode of their acclaimed but increasingly sporadic web series Toyah & Robert's Sunday Lunch.
In this latest broadcast – which we believe to be only the second new Sunday Lunch film of the year, not that we've been paying attention – Frippcox perform a lively rendition of Kiss's 1975 glam masterpiece Rock and Roll All Nite.
Most excitingly, King Crimson man Fripp is wearing corpse paint during the performance, and takes a rare lead vocal during what we're optimistically describing as the 'breakdown section'.
At the end of the film, a demented-looking Fripp advises viewers that he and Willcox "rock through the night and party every day", just in case the last five years haven't made that abundantly clear.
We are still awaiting our invite.
In barely related news, King Crimson's live album Penn State University 1974 will come out on CD later this month, following the double vinyl set released in April for this year's Record Store Day.
A second live set, 2014 NYC, which was recorded over four nights at the Best Buy Theatre in New York in September 2014 and features Crimson's "Seven-Headed Beast" lineup, will be released in July.
Meanwhile, Toyah's Songs and Stories tour is nearing its end, but with Christmas shows on the horizon and a mammoth run of 38 newly announced Rebel With A Cause: Songs & Stories dates already scheduled for 2027, there's no hiding from the nation's premier post-punk pop princess.
As if you didn't need any more reasons to admire Willcox, she appears to be playing two separate shows 100 miles apart on the same date in August. Full dates below.
