Rev Simpkins launches Headwater at comeback show in Colchester

Rev Simpkins fashions Freudian nightmare fuel

The final line-up has been announced for the antigen records anniversary show in Ipswich on 25 November.

Yes, we do actually release records. Here's the October schedule.

15 songs of solitude, supercontainers, service stations and extra-terrestrial encounters… a Christmas message from the Queen and an 18th century carol penned by an atheist amputee. Festive entertainment for all the family.

The wait will soon be over, as this Friday signals the arrival of Big Sea, the first Rev Simpkins album in 11 years. More on that later this week. But, for now, we’ll tease you with the video for second single and album-opener, Advent. Advent deals with the shock and bafflement felt by Rev’d Matthew Simpkins as he received his cancer diagnosis in 2019. Although viewers may be distracted from this message by Matt’s mastery of lockdown ventriloquism and erotic dance moves. If you can’t wait until Friday, you can purchase Advent (single version) b/w Hail to the New King…

As you know, we pride ourselves on being a family-friendly entertainment provider. So we were a little shocked to receive a VHS tape from 1995 marked 'vicar in a wet t-shirt' with a post-it note attached from Rev Simpkins that read 'here's something for the dads'. If your adult video interests extend to wet priests in a bath, we respect that. Click his soapy face to view.
