About the Event
This is gonna be an experimental music night featuring dense post rock blended with some good German kraut on top (or Krautrock with 'post'?) played by the amazing Plank! from Manchester.
Plus, likely one of the most incredible duos you've ever seen: SchnAAk And The Rundu Choir mix African beats with creativity beyond your grasp and four fistful of craziness. This will make your jaw drop.
Plank!"With a name that's a canny two-in-one nod to both Conny and Neu!, Plank! are clearly not afraid to wear their Krautrock influences on their sleeve. But – and despite a number of unashamed gestures in the direction of Neu! – this is no slavish period revivalism. Like all true innovators, Plank! steal from so many places they end up sounding like themselves." (Drowned in Sound)
SchnAAk"SchnAAk and the Rundu Choir achieve something of communality; although a duo, they seem to have sunk their individual voices completely into the whole of their music, giving the impression not only that there are more than two of them, but that the two of them are no more important than any of their imaginary friends. This is not only very musical, very pleasing, powerful music, produced with great musicianship, but it is also creatively adventurous work, which seeks to explore avenues to musical meaning that, if not exactly new, certainly depart the comfort zone for most European musicians." (Oliver Arditi)
