they have released a series of seminal, intense, highly influential and
utterly unpredictable and uncompromising albums over the years, from
their debut NATURE UNVEILED to their most recent album HONEYSUCKLE ÆONS,
as well as creating the world of Apocalyptic folk. David Tibet has
worked with artists as varied as Björk, Nick Cave, Shirley Collins,
Antony (who has covered one of their songs), Bonnie "Prince" Billy,
Andrew WK and Rickie Lee Jones, who have all been part of the Current 93
family and appeared on their albums at one time or another.
The present line-up consists of David Tibet as voice, Michael Cashmore
as guitar, Baby Dee as piano, Alex Neilson as drums, Andrew Liles as
electronics, Eliot Bates as oud and James Blackshaw as bass.
Current 93 are unlike anyone or anything else, the Very Voice of Catland
itself, drones and screams and sings and rings and the suns and the
moons all at once.Tickets available now at Lippupalvelu. 20.12.2011 JESS AND THE ANCIENT ONES JOIN BLOW UPThe occult rock newcomers Jess and the Ancient Ones has joined our roster. JATAO is confirmed for Heavy Days in Doom Town 2012 festival. 30.09.2011 FLESHPRESS TO PLAY ROADBURNIndomitable sludge / doom behemoths Fleshpress will be playing a one-off show at Roadburn 2012′s Afterburner, set to be held on Sunday, April 15th at the 013 venue in Tilburg, Holland. Combining massive riffs, searing vocals and tense atmospheric interludes, Finland’s Fleshpress is a must-see for the misanthropically inclined.Fitting for a band named after a song on a Grief record, Fleshpress make malevolent, crushing music punctuated by snarling screams of pure hatred. Interspersing noise-riddled, forbidding ambience between bouts of neck-snapping riff assaults, they provide no solace for the timid and spasms of delirium for fans of filthy sludge and doom. We look forward to seeing the smoking crater they leave behind…
07.09.2011 DIAMANDA GALAS HELSINKIIN26.10.2011 Savoy-teatteri, HelsinkiYhdysvaltalainen vokaalitaiteilija Diamanda Galás saapuu konsertoimaan Suomeen lokakuussa. Klassisen pianistin koulutuksen saanut Galás ammentaa avantgardeensa vaikutteita kreikkalaisista sukujuuristaan ja musiikillisista tyylilajeista bluesista oopperaan. Sanoituksissaan hän ei kaihda vaikeitakaan aiheita kuten mielenterveysongelmia, ihmisoikeusloukkauksia ja kivuliasta kuolemaa. Diivan ja monilahjakkuuden vaikuttava kolmen ja puolen oktaavin ääniala ja maaninen musisointi siivittää kuulijansa taivaallisiin sfääreihin. Galás on intensiivinen esiintyjä, jonka konserteissa yleisö kulkee artistin mukana alakulosta euforiaan, raivosta herkkyyteen ja hiljaisuudesta huutoon. Yli viisitoista levyä julkaisseen artistin musiikkia on kuultu myös valkokankaalla, muun muassa Oliver Stonen Natural Born Killers -elokuvassa. Galás on nähty Suomessa vain kerran aikaisemmin 1990-luvulla. Karismaattisen ja arvostetun taiteilijan paluuta on odotettu, sillä Galásia on kuultu Euroopassakin vain harvoin. Liput myynnissä Lippupalvelun myyntipisteissä 12.9.2011 alkaen. Liput 36€ plus mahdolliset Lippupalvelun toimituskulut. http://www.lippupalvelu.fi/ Konsertti järjestetään Blow Up That Gramophonen, Svart Recordsin sekä Imperiumi.net -verkkomedian yhteistyönä. http://www.diamandagalas.com/ http://www.svartrecords.com/ http://www.imperiumi.net/ 01.08.2011 / PENTAGRAM RETURNSAfter their first and sold out show in Finland, Pentagram returns to Finland in December for two more shows in Helsinki and Oulu.
