Nick Lowe returns to rock?

True enough, the last couple of Nick Lowe performances in town have "left socks decidedly unrocked off" in the man's own parlance. Although a sudden return to the breakneck boogie of his reckless Rockpile days is probably out of the question at this point, at least on the current tour, "The Basher" will be accompanied by more than an acoustic guitar. Yes, that's right, Nick Lowe will be joined by a full band for his appearance at the Mod Club tonight (Wednesday, October 13) which means that at the very least, you can expect the gloomy tunes to be delivered with a little more gusto.
In honour of Lowe's much-anticipated Toronto return, here's a revealing exchange between Dave Edmunds and Lowe from the brilliant but rarely screened BBC documentary Born Fighters that originally aired in 1979.
