When you’ve visited İstanbul, you might have noticed that it has a rich musical scene which reaches from jazz over folk and psychedelica to experimental noise performances, literally emerging from Europe to Asia, from Asia to Europe, spreading out to Berlin or at least into our drippy minds.
We are very happy to announce an evening with two bands, rooted in the İstanbul music-scene:
Hayvanlar Alemi released their first album “Gaga” through the Ankara label 003 Records in 2006. Their second album “Guarana Superpower”, mostly culled from tracks on their cdrs from 2007 to 2009, was released by Seattle label SUBLIME FREQUENCIES in 2010, followed by a cover of Mulatu Astatke’s Ethiopian instrumental piece “Yekermo Sew” on seven inch vinyl. Following the release of Guarana Superpower which received positive reviews from publications such as The Guardian, Uncut and Wire, Hayvanlar Alemi opened for Group Doueh in London’s Barbican Centre and played a surprise performance at All Tomorrow’s Parties Festival Curated by Animal Collective. Since then they have been touring routinely and presenting their music to live audiences in Western Europe. The band’s third official album “Twisted Souvenirs”, which was recorded in 2011 and 2012, is coming out on vinyl on Germany-based label Unrock and on CD on the Turkish label Shalgam Records in early 2014.
Farfara is a band from İstanbul whose members are Etkin Cekin, Tolga Böyük and Eralp Güven. A band which has invented itself with a psychedelic brew of kraut drums, shoegazing guitars, airy synths, ethereal vocals, lots of Love and a clear commitment to pop.
lislbar & wermuth will play some of their favourite vinyl records, a lot of them will maybe not fit to an İstanbul-theme night at all. But they are good, really.
By the way: This happens on sunday … SUNDAY … so keep it in mind! MIND!
