JEFFREY LEWIS & PETER STAMPFEL (Brixton Windmill, 23/05/13)


It's been three years since I last saw Jeff Lewis, and I'm not entirely sure why. Combining forces with wonderfully eccentric 74-year old ex-hippy Peter Stampfel, this show deftly incorporated material from their joint album (highlight: the peerlessly titled “Do You Know Who I Am, I'm Fucking Snooki”), energetic takes on classic tunes (well, “Surfin' Bird” at least) and of course, Jeff's gloriously rendered flipboard “movies” (not suitable for under-18's or people averse to bird-on-nerd sexual proclivities.) And what an absolute blast it was too.
