Must see: Bedroom Community
Throw up a massive dust cloud that grounds every plane west of Moscow and you’re not going to be flavour of the month.
But record label Bedroom Community will be hoping Iceland’s little bit of volcanic ash between friends won’t be enough to ruin the first visit to Manchester for the label’s phonetically troublesome four.
Valgeir Sigurdsson, Sam Amidon, Nico Muhly and Ben Frost (OK, phonetically troublesome three...) are all celebrated solo artists, but their Whale Watching Tour is an opportunity to see them collaborate on stage.
Through an evening of eclectic music and styles (Valgeir is an electro genius, Nico a sincere singer-songwriter, Ben a soundscape engineer and Sam a murder balladeer), the four artists will join each other for a mixed set from across all their work.
This isn’t an altogether experimental format for the quartet, but it is in many ways a way of telling Bedroom Community’s story so far, and of showcasing new material already in the pipeline for release in 2010/11.
Club Academy - April 26, 2010 - £12.
