TORTOISE
EFTERKLANG
and more to be announced

Elegant, passionate, diffuse and complex, Tortoise’s meling of all styles from jazz to electronica has made them of of the most influential bands of the last two decades. Taking time off from the recording of a new album, Tortoise promise a hang-glide ride through modern modern music - jazz, post-rock, subtle techno, funk – of sweeping elegance and beauty.

10-piece Danish ensemble Efterklang create wondrous music which settles beautifully into an open area somewhere between elegant minimalist orchestrations, the electronically-enhanced chamber music and communal rock experiment swelled by ribald strings, brass and choirs. With the relase of the escatatically acclaimed Under Giant Trees, Tripper and Parades (Leaf) and transcendant live shows, Efterklang are 2008’s most cherishable major new presence: innovative, celebratory and anthemic.

TARAF DE HAÏDOUKS
VINICIUS CANTUARIA

Taraf de Haïdouks, the twelve Gypsy "lautari" (traditional musicians) from a small Romanian village, are the world’s finest, wildest and most soulful Balkan Gypsy band. Playing medieval ballads, Turkish-flavoured dance tunes from the Balkans with wild emotion and artistic virtuosity, Taraf de Haïdouks deliver on all eastern promises.

http://www.myspace.com/tarafdehaidouksbandofgypsies

Vinicius Cantuária reveals all of the restless beauty that is the new bossa nova. His subtle and ironic songs place him in the lineage of Antonio Carlos Jobim and Joao Gilberto while his leftfield collaborators (Laurie Anderson, David Byrne, Brian Eno, Bill Frisell, and Arto Lindsay) give his music a decidedly twenty-first century feel. The end-result is always tuneful, light, fleet and musical.

JOHANN JOHANNSON plus Chequerboard
Johann Johannsson (4AD) is an Icelandic composer. His stately, slow-building and haunting postmodern minimal compositions have been quietly bewitching many since the release of Englborn and IBM 1401, A User’s Manual. Experimental yet sublime, Johannson is a singular new presence in European music.

[Wheels]

Would love to see Tortoise, but €30 in Grand canal square?.. dunno about that. If it's the same set up as last year, I'll be standing outside the railings enjoying it from afar for free thank you very much.

 

[mark]

aye, got excited when i saw tortoise, but then i saw €30. the branca thing last year was deadly.

 

[Black Amnesia]

they have a website but its all over the shop

what's wrong with the site? it looks fine here.. Johann Johannsson, sweet..

 

[nEiLo]

Johann Johannsson, sweet..

yup. i'll checking that out.

 

[rettucs]

what a rip-off.

30 euro to see Efterklang and Tortoise?

think I'll give it a miss.

 

[Mitchum]

Tr'ffic line-up.
I certainly would have no problem paying E30 to see Tortoise alone. Efterklang's a nice bonus.
Tenner for Johann Johansonn's a steal and the prospect of seeing Taraf De Haidouks for nowt is impressive.

 

[worthit]

I've paid over 100 euro to fly to london just to see tortoise. They're amazing live. Worth every penny.

 

[Gambra]

30 bones for Tortoise & Efterklang is not bad. People are only moaning cos they were free last year. Let the beard stroking and head nodding begin.......... now.

 

[rettucs]

efterklang played here twice in the last year. It was ~15 euro each time.

The news weren't kidding when on about inflation last night.

and efterklang won't be nearly as good outdoors.

 

[Gambra]

So you get Tortoise for an extra 15 only, Efterklang aren't the headliners of that gig. I don't see the problem.

 

[rettucs]

just sounds steep to me, thats all.

If this wasn't part of some big outdoor festival I couldn't see it costing this much.

anyway, lets drop it. I'll probably still end up going.

 

[Pilchard]

and efterklang won't be nearly as good outdoors.

I saw Efterklang playing outdoors at Sonar a few years ago and they were fantastic - much better than they were in Whelan's last year.

 

[theoootini]

big outdoor festival

surely this is why it is costing €3.50 more than if it was on in a normal venue?

stop moaning lads it's friday.

 

[phil.b]

€30 for Tortoise and Efterklang? Bargain.

Really looking forward to this, been waiting to see Tortoise for years now. Really great line-up overall this year.

 

[Beak]

Would love to see Tortoise, but €30 in Grand canal square?.. dunno about that. If it's the same set up as last year, I'll be standing outside the railings enjoying it from afar for free thank you very much.

Hopefully they don't clamp down on this with it not being free anymore. I came down for Konono last year and happily watched most of Branca from outside the next day until I got tickets.

I guess I'll wait to see if it works on the Friday and I'll shoot down for Tortoise.
