The KVB ‘Above Us’ The KVB ‘Above Us’ The KVB announce brand new single and largest tour to date After intense touring ‘Of Desire’ in Europe, Asia and beyond, The KVB returned to their studio to further immerse themselves in sonic experimentation . The resulting ‘Above Us’ heralds the next chapter in the adopted-Berliners dark, electronic pop development. With waves of synthesisers, flourishes of surf guitar and sequences driving with nervous en- ergy, the tension finally relieves with a surging, euphoric chorus. Brighter and more expansive than ever, the track demonstrates the bands growing ability to create sonic journeys, yet retains the atmosphere synonymous with The KVB. “‘Above Us’ is about defiance in reaction to the anxieties of modern life. In a world where you and your data are the product, ‘Above Us’ seeks to reclaim the power over yourself and to make your own decisions.” - Kat & Nick, The KVB https://soundcloud.com/invadauk/the-kvb-above-us/s-V5ErZ This Summer sees the duo make several festival appearances including Green Man and Meltdown the latter of which is curated by The Cure’s Robert Smith. ‘Above Us’ is released on Invada Records, 30th May 2018 Tour Dates 24 Jun 2018 Purcell Rooms, London (Robert Smith’s Meltdown) 12 - 15 2018 Jul Devilstone Festival , LT 16 - 19 2018 Aug Green Man Festival, UK 14 Sep 2018 Closer, UA The KVB ‘Above Us’ 24 Oct 2018 The Hug and Pint, Glasgow UK 25 Oct 2018 The Think Tank, Newcastle UK 26 Oct 2018 Now Wave Venue, Manchester UK 27 Oct 2018 Hyde Park Book Club, Leeds UK 28 Oct 2018 The Crescent, York UK 29 Oct 2018 Hare & Hounds, Birmingham UK 30 Oct 2018 The Green Door Store, Brighton UK 31 Oct 2018 Corsica Studios, London UK 01 Nov 2018 Rough Trade, Bristol UK 02 Nov 2018 La Cave Aux Poetes, Roubaix FR 04 Nov 2018 McDaids, Le Havre FR 06 Nov 2018 Sugarfactory, Amsterdam NL 07 Nov 2018 Bumann & Sohn, Cologne DE 08 Nov 2018 Charlatan, Gent BE 09 Nov 2018 Hafenklang, Hamburg DE 10 Nov 2018 Stengade, Copenhagen DK 11 Nov 2018 Debaser Strand, Stockholm SE 12 Nov 2018 Revolver, Oslo NO 14 Nov 2018 Lido, Berlin DE 15 Nov 2018 Meskalina, Poznan PL 16 Nov 2018 Poglos, Warsaw PL 17 Nov 2018 Café v Lese, Prague CZ 18 Nov 2018 Kabinet MUZ, Brno CZ 20 Nov 2018 Dürer Kert, Budapest HU 21 Nov 2018 Fluc, Vienna AU 23 Nov 2018 Kranhalle, Munich DE 24 Nov 2018 L'Amalgame, Yverdon-les-Bains CH 25 Nov 2018 La Mascotte, Zurich CH 27 Nov 2018 Largo Venue, Rome IT 28 Nov 2018 Locomotivclub, Bologna IT 30 Nov 2018 Sidecar, Barcelona ES 01 Dec 2018 Moby Dick, Madrid ES 03 Dec 2018 La Ferronnerie, Jurançon FR 04 Dec 2018 La Sirene, La Rochelle FR 05 Dec 2018 Iboat, Bordeaux FR 06 Dec 2018 Le Badaboum, Paris FR 07 Dec 2018 La Lune des Pirates, Amiens FR www.thekvb.co.uk www.facebook.com/thekvbmusic/ https://twitter.com/thekvb https://www.instagram.com/thekvb.

  • Quatrième Édition Musique Live - Arts Numériques Scénographie Le Courant Psychédélique
    QUATRIÈME ÉDITION MUSIQUE LIVE - ARTS NUMÉRIQUES SCÉNOGRAPHIE LE COURANT PSYCHÉDÉLIQUE C’est au début des années 60 sur la côte ouest des Etats-Unis, qu’apparaît le courant psychédélique, à l’origine d’une révolution musicale et sociologique. Il puise ses racines dans la beat generation de Jack Kérouac et se veut le symbole d’un puissant désir d’abolir les sens et les consciences. On associe la naissance de la musique psychédélique à l’album Are You Experienced de Jimi Hendrix, même si un peu plus tôt, 13th Floor Elevator posait les bases de ce style musical qui allait traverser les âges. Enrichi ensuite par des groupes précurseurs du « San Francisco Sound » comme Jefferson Airplane ou encore Grateful Dead, le Psyché s’est exporté en Angleterre, en Allemagne et en France pour devenir un courant musical majeur de la culture Rock des soixantes dernières années. Un son ayant évolué au point de devenir une appellation au même titre que l’ « Indie » et ayant été à la base de la naissance de nouveaux styles musicaux comme le Krautrock, le Noise, le Psych-Pop ou encore le Stoner. Aux côtés de ces musiciens avides d’expérimentation, d’autres artistes (réalisateurs, graphistes, photographes, peintres, etc...) laissent éclore leur talent en tentant de traduire les délires sensoriels des improvisations musicales. Si ces créations demeurent encore discrètes, bon nombre d’institutions les mettent plus en lumière, comme par exemple le Centre Pompidou à l’occasion de l’exposition Yayoi Kusama. Ce mouvement psychédélique rassemble donc bon nombre d’occasions d’apprécier une production artistique riche, propre d’une identité sonore et visuelle unique.
