Thu 24th The Luminaire presents REVERE + Wojtek Godzisz + Kaiko
Doors 7.30 "Beautifully unpredictable." [Mojo] "Stuff this special and so uninterfered with doesn't come along often." [Manchester Music] An ensemble of supremely talented individuals make up the group and musical tour de force which is Revere. Depending on the gig there can be anything from ten of them on stage, all the way down to one. Think Radiohead meets Ben Christophers meets Muse meets Arcade Fire. "A bold and beguiling mix of klezmer, post-rock, gospel and soundtracks." [Time Out] "One of the most intriguing bands on the circuit..." [Glasswerk.co.uk] Main support is Wojtek Godzisz. evt desc: Formerly the main songwriter and a founding member of late ’90s teen punk tearaways Symposium, Wojtek Godzisz (pronounced ‘Voytek Godzish’ for those of you unfamiliar with the Polish language) returned from self-imposed exile with a critically acclaimed collection of bedroom recordings, the ‘Burning Ideals’ EP, in April this year. Since then, Wojtek has assembled a power trio, taken to the stage and built up a loyal live following.
Opening proceedings is Kaiko, their live performances characterised by the fusing together of soaring melodies, layered guitars and infectious drumming. Their recent 'Euthymic' EP, recorded at Abbey Road studios, was released with a sell out launch party at Hoxton Bar & Kitchen last year. |
