Case in point: they’re bringing Mancunian experimental doom-pop dudes Demdike Stare to the city in a couple of weeks, for a headline set at the Kazimier. As far as we know it’s their first ever time playing in Liverpool, so it’s a rather big coup, and they come with a live show that’s been honed across Europe’s best cutting edge arts festivals. Taking creepy horror samples, shuddering bass and organic anti-melodies, Demdike aren’t your typical Thursday night party music. But open your ears and their tunes are full of space, warmth and layers: live, they’re also surprisingly danceable.
The evening’s set to be a rather impressive audio/visual spectacular, with woozy techno artist Castor doing a set, as well as underground filmmakers BASF, who are set to premiere a new short film and do some live stuff too. Probably the best mind-bending fiver you’ll spend all month.
