LOVE OF EVERYTHING

I recently toured with a group of amazing bands, one of which was a one man band appropriately named Love Of Everything. The single member, Bobby Burg, has been a part of an endless list of bands, including Joan Of Arc and Make Believe. He’s been doing tours every year since 2002, and on his longest tour he was a full time roadie and played two sets a night. Over the course of a week-long tour, I got to see a form of what Bobby has been doing for over 20 years. One night, he explained to me at a bar that after touring for so long and so consistently, you realise you’ve become a resident of the planet rather than of any particular city, state, or country. There is a home wherever you go – a perspective I found to be a breath of fresh air, considering that so many musicians are starting to dread touring. Bobby is a person who genuinely loves what he is doing and succeeds in being both talented and innovative, turning peculiar sounds, such as the charge of a flash on a camera, into instruments to be played on a loop during a song.

Perfect Pussy play on 28 October at EKKO, Utrecht. The show is free for Subbacultcha! members.
