A sold-out Super Ballet show by Geordie Greep, the former Black Midi vocalist, presenting his solo path between art-rock, tropicalia and jazz.

In Black Midi, Geordie Greep was part of that generation of bands that renewed British post-rock and regularly played at the Windmill in London. Think of Black Country, New Road or even caroline — not a bad scene to be in. Black Midi enjoyed a different kind of critical and public animosity from the other bands, partly thanks to the way they mixed classic elements from other rock genres and integrated them into a very post-post-whatever stance. That is, until they ended in 2024. News of their vocalist, Geordie Greep, was not long in coming. Greep quickly released a solo album. 'The New Sound' immediately staked out the territory of someone who now wants to be a kind of Arto Lindsay for a new generation. Making the most of what distinguished him in Black Midi, his voice, Geordie Greep used it to build a bridge between fans of the band and fans who might come to this life closer to art-rock that embraces various sources of inspiration, whether tropicalia or jazz. With that quick statement, he wanted to demonstrate his role in Black Midi and how a certain appetite for melodies and for the unexpected in the band came precisely from him. Did he convince us? Yes, and then some. So much so that now, two years later, we eagerly await what might come next, whether a continuation from someone who can mix instrumental chaos with a crooner attitude, captivating us not by the mix itself but by the frantic edge that arises from it, like something that dazzles and is contagious, or something even newer, like a rabbit pulled out of a hat. Why do we think this way? Because Geordie Greep has already given us reason to think it's possible. What's impossible is not expecting the unexpected from him. AS.
