Tonight I went with friend Oliver (of Pixel Pioneers fame, buy a ticket) to The Garage Highbury corner to see a band that I’ve never heard and never heard of. I went on Oliver’s recommendation as I know that we have similar tastes in music, plus he wanted someone to go with.
The band in question was The Notwist an indie rock band from Munich Germany. The Guardian recently described them as indietronica legends. I would describe them as Post Indie Rock Noise Machines.
There were 7 or 8 members of the band, 10 during one of the encores, and over 30 instruments including:
- Saxophones
- Sousaphone
- Squeeze boxes
- Xylophone
- Glockenspiel
- A fluorescent green recorder
- And all the usual band instruments
I love discovering new bands and artists, they certainly did not disappoint. Thank you Oliver!
