ART IS HARD PRESENTS FLAMINGODS
TICKETS £6 FROM OUR SHOP: http://bit.ly/FlamingodsBristol
LISTEN TO RHAMA: https://soundcloud.com/i-d-online-1/premiere-flamingods-rhama
Having released their debut LP back in January 2013, we're delighted to be welcoming Flamingods to Bristol shortly before the release of their third album 'Majesty' on Soundway Records on 3rd June 2016.
Flamingods are a five-piece, multi-instrumental band formed in Bahrain in 2009. The group puts a focus on exploration and experimentation, often taking influence from different cultures around the world by use of an extensive collection of instruments from as far as Nepal, Thailand, Indonesia, Turkey, Japan and Tanzania. While being informed by the imagery, music and concepts of far-flung cultures, experimental, psych, rock and pop acts also inspired much of the early works of Flamingods. Bands such as Boredoms, Animal Collective, Sun Araw, Sun City Girls and Deerhunter have been cited as early influences.
“An explosion of instruments from all over the world and genres that shouldn’t quite go together… Flamingods sound like nothing else right now”. DAZED
"The five artists experiment with instruments sourced across the world and never fail to impress us with their exotic, and at times trippy, wonder music” i-D
“Eastern and African flavours sieved through psychedelic prisms of pulsating neon and flickering campfires, think Goat meets Tinariwen at Hawkwind’s BBQ” West Holts Stage, Glastonbury
Supporting we have Yama Warashi - the solo project of Bristol-based Japanese artist Yoshino Shigihara's. Her music has a dreamy evocative sound with a shadow of moon cake, inspired by Japanese folk dance music, Bon Odori (盆踊り), free jazz and African music with a slice of electric psychedelia.
We've barely stopped listening to her debut EP over the last few weeks so we're very excited to have her opening up.
