A gig held at The Jam Jar on Sunday 11th May. The event starts at 20:00.
We are proud to be bringing the post-punk/metal/Balkan/Klezmer anarchic good news of KermesZ à l'Est to The Jam Jar (Bristol) along with exquisite Opa Rosa on the 11th of May.
KermesZ à l’Est
KermesZ à l’Est is a musical ensemble located at the unique crossroads of Eastern European traditional music, jazz and metal.
Formed in 2008, KermesZ à l’Est has forged their own musical identity, which they spread internationally from their native Belgium.
The band becomes dancers and conjures up improbable guests, including a Walloonian necromancer, St. Nicotine, the meandering patron saint of smokers, and, of course, Octo, the group’s quadrupedal singer.
Wild beasts, black magic, maniacal dances, brutal trumpets and smoking prophets adorn these new-Balkan rantings, embellished with their hellish strollers, their living and stuffed menagerie, even their own pet dinosaur.
There is very little we can do to prepare you for what you are about to witness.

Opa Rosa
Fast gaining a reputation as one of Bristol’s most dynamic and virtuosic bands, Opa Rosa are an energetic acoustic ensemble sharing music from the Klezmer, Balkan, Greek & Roma traditions. With several combined decades of study and experience, all five musicians are well-versed in the musical traditions’ syntax and significance, capturing all the joy and sorrow that these traditions are so renowned for expressing.
Deeply rooted in Balkan traditions, Opa Rosa’s music aims to explore and reinvent the motifs of Eastern Europe by subtly drawing from other musical influences such as Post-Rock, Classical and Jazz. With their lineup of violin, clarinet, accordion, double bass and percussion, their unique and refined sound consists of an explosive and grooving rhythm section combined with intricate melodies soaring over rich and nuanced harmonic structures.
"Opa Rosa paint Eastern Europe with a whole new palette of colours - there’s no doubt that the music they make is for the heart and for the feet. It is incredibly uplifting, beautifully freeing. Music that is pulsing, heart-racing and, quite simply, glorious…"
