Événement

Yonatan Gat, Thor Harris (Swans), Tia Carrera, The Black, The Harms

Master guitarist and improviser, and Village Voices's "Best Guitarist in New York" in 2013 Yonatan Gat (founder of Monotonix) is currently touring the world with his eponymous trio, melting faces with their one of a kind psych-punk-world-improvisation concert/rituals. They are touring behind new mixtape, Physical Copy recorded by the legendary Steve Albini playing a show in a different city every night.

But no two Yonatan Gat shows are the same.

Playing in the middle of the dance floor amidst adrenaline-fueled sweaty audiences Gat's trio deliver a new breed of psychedelic rock heavy on improvisation, punk urgency and musical expression, creating a collage of cultures and styles into "a world party respectful of tradition but unafraid to throw everything in a blender and gulp. A frequently dazzling display of the trio's impressively far-flung influences." (Pitchfork)

SPIN wrote "you've never seen anything like it, cults have been formed over less," the NY Times pronounced Gat stretching "the static definition of a concert you might have heard echoes of funk from Benin; Cuban son from Senegal; Chicano rock from Los Angeles; Afro-Brazilian soul from Rio de Janeiro; and the pentatonic and Arabic scales that connect much of the world. But the basic protocol of a concert the band stays here, the audience stays there kept getting disrupted and turned over."

Continuing the legacy of Yonatan's legendary band Monotonix these shows give a whole new meaning to the word "live" and the separation of "art" and "life". Every show being improvised and tailored to the moment it represent a unique, fleeting document, a moment in time that cannot be replicated.
