After selling out two dates at the Scala in April skewed rock idols Silver Jews will play their 3rd ever London show at the Mean Fiddler on Saturday July 15th.

Mainstay Berman, (who founded Silver Jews with Pavement's Stephen Malkmus and Bob Nastanovich in 1990), has promised a live extravaganza in the wake of last year's excellent Tanglewood Numbers album (the band's sixth ? it featured 'honorary Jews' Will Oldham, Lambchop's Tony Crow and ex-member Malkmus amongst others). As one might expect from the self-proclaimed 'dumbfounding psyche-theistic humanist hawk-rockers', this will be no everyday gig?

"The Scala show was... Utterly thrilling: a 17-song set that ranged blissfully across the entire back catalogue, punctuated with engaging banter from the frontman and, in honour of old times perhaps, a dirty joke. It was practically a blueprint for live shows; anyone would have thought Berman had been at this for years." 4/5 The Guardian
