KARKARA • www.karkara.bandcamp.com DIRTY NIPS • www.instagram.com/dirtynipsmusic ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Explosive power trio that furiously mixes garage / fuzz and middle eastern sounds, KARKARA is an unprecedented project that takes the gamble of glueing together the East and the West sound in a common goal: transcendence. Created in 2017 in Toulouse - France- under the idea of the guitarist and the bassist and inspired by the psychedelic rock scene of the Middle East and the Maghreb of the 60s and 70s, the band combines its traditional inspirations with a viceral taste for the shattering sounds of garage fuzz and contemporary krautrock. Even going so far as to use their favourite atypical instrument - the didgeridoo - the three members of KARKARA, like desert wizards, take pleasure in pushing the boundaries of the genre further and take their audience into a mystical and indomitable world. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 18+ event. Presented by Gravy Train, BLG & Stolen Body Records. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Gravy Train events • www.gravytrainbristol.co.uk BLG events • www.linktr.ee/BLGPromotions
