A gig held at Strange Brew on Wednesday 9th October. The event starts at 19:00.
Tickets: https://bristolbeacon.org/whats-on/john-maus/
John Maus is a truly enigmatic musician. Broadly cut from the synth-pop cloth, he’s fashioned frosty minimalism into moments of genuine grace and absurdist humour over the course of three defining albums since 2006.
His music is often described as retro-futurist thanks to the 80s drum machines and synth sounds employed, but there’s a cinematic quality to his songs, with pathos conjured through propelling bass-lines, trailing arpeggios and of course his deeply resonant vocal. It’s an amalgamation of musical ideas as radical as its intent. Don’t miss this rare appearance in Bristol.
Presented by Bristol Beacon
Format: Standing
Age: 14+ (Under 18s to be accompanied by an adult)
Doors: 19:00
