SPACE IS THE PLACE: Elg Ler + Eel Slap!

Thursday, November 9, music starts 21:00, € 8 / students € 5

ELG LER’s music can get the most diverse listeners together and lead them all to some wild emotional peaks. The first record includes 8 new songs stuffed with sonic experiments, everything live and unpolished. The overall trio sound feels like a unique blend of indie-rock and improv, often very rough and silly, aiming to please the ears of both indie kids and improvised music fans. It’s a co-lead band between Amsterdam and Naples, featuring Dario Trapani on guitar, Giuseppe Romagnoli on double bass and Stefano Costanzo on drums.

EEL SLAP! is a duo formed in Lisbon by the guitarist Pedro Branco and the drummer João Lencastre. They have been playing together in several projects presenting now they’re own identity as a duo. All the music is completely improvised, both live and in the studio, mixing elements of more idiomatic genres (like math-rock, folk or even jazz) as well as a more avant-garde approach. They released their first EP on the label Flea Boy Records and they’re going to release their first record still this year.
