Helmet on. Slide guitar screaming. Telephone receiver wired into his face. Rubber dinghies, toast flying through the crowd, distorted blues-punk chaos and one of the wildest live shows on the planet… Bob Log III returns to the UK & Ireland this August for a string of 13 dates.

“And then there’s this guy named Bob Log, you ever heard of him? He’s this little kid — nobody ever knows how old he is — wears a motorcycle helmet and he has a microphone inside of it and he puts the glass over the front so you can’t see his face, and plays slide guitar. It’s just the loudest strangest stuff you’ve ever heard. You don’t understand one word he’s saying. I like people who glue macaroni on to a piece of cardboard and paint it gold. That’s what I aspire to basically” – Tom Waits
Part blues shaman, part rock’n’roll lunatic and entirely unlike anybody else touring today, Bob Log III has spent decades building a cult following across the globe with his jaw-dropping one-man-band performances. Armed with a beaten-up slide guitar, kick drums, homemade stage props and a full-face helmet rigged with an old-school telephone receiver, Bob Log creates a gloriously loud, weird and hypnotic racket somewhere between punk blues, backwoods rock’n’roll and total absurdist theatre.

Outstanding show.
one cannot expect the amount of energy a small guy can make, nor the presence he gives on stage.
It is already an excellent concept, one guy in a jump suit and a helmet playing the blues in a very unique, peculiar, high tempo manner.
We saw him in a small club which makes it even more difficult sometimes to 'convince' people if you're right under their nose like he was.
He took over our enthusiasm and attention, fully and utterly as soon as he walked close to the stage.
Funny, witty, engaging, extremely likeable persona and excellent performer.
If this guy comes to your town, make sure you don't miss it - you sure aint gonna see anything like it ever!
