For many fans, musicians and critics alike the guitarist and multi-instrumentalist Michael Rother is a key figure of the innovative & singularly influential music scene originating from Germany in the early 1970s. His music has been inspirational for generations of musicians - from David Bowie, Brian Eno, Iggy Pop, DEVO, Sonic Youth, Stereolab, U2, Autechre, Radiohead, Primal Scream, and beyond.
Check out what the great Iggy Pop has to say about Neu!
Michael Rother was a member of Kraftwerk in 1971 and formed the legendary bands NEU! (with Klaus Dinger) and Harmonia (with Hans-Joachim Roedelius and Dieter Moebius of Cluster) before releasing nine acclaimed solo albums.
Since the official re-release of the NEU! albums in 2001 Rother has played in many countries around the world and collaborated with numerous musicians and bands: John Frusciante, Josh Klinghoffer, Secret Machines, Benjamin Curtis (School of Seven Bells), Red Hot Chili Peppers and Hans Lampe (La Düsseldorf) - to name only a few.
In 2010 Michael Rother formed the live project Hallogallo 2010 with Steve Shelley (Sonic Youth) and Aaron Mullan (Tall Firs). Together they played numerous acclaimed concerts - e.g. at ATP festivals in the UK, Spain and the USA - presenting Rother´s music live in many countries for the very first time.
In 2011 Rother started a collaboration with a young Berlin based band called Camera, a trio notorious for guerilla-style impromptu concerts in public spaces in Berlin. Camera´s debut album "Radiate!" was released in summer 2012 and the band fascinates audiences everywhere with their exciting and hypnotic music.
For his first ever concert in Ireland, Michael Rother will be joined by the three members of Camera: Michael Drummer (drums), Franz Bargmann (guitar) and Timm Brockmann (keyboards). Together they will play the endless fast-forward type of music of NEU!, as well as selected tracks by Harmonia and from Rother's solo works.
