BLK JKS

*** English ***

17:00 rooftop bar open 21:00 BLK JKS22:00 Avalanche Kaito23:00 > 01:00 dj setMore than ten years ago, this art rock foursome from Johannesburg was riding the crest of the music world: world tours, magazine covers, encounters with the toast of rock music, and a debut album, After Robots, universally acclaimed as defining the decade. Then it grew silent. It would be eight years before a new release followed and another three for a new album to see the light of day in 2021. Abantu/Before Humans is at least as jittery and exhilarating as After Robots, even going one step further when it comes to pulverizing prejudice. Indie art rock in which afrobeat, funk rock and even hip hop resound, with lyrics melting together different languages, alternating between jazzy energy, psychedelic vibes and a sudden urge to headbang. Maybe you should come and see BLK JKS for yourself?https://www.instagram.com/blkjks

17:00 rooftop bar open 21:00 BLK JKS22:00 Avalanche Kaito23:00 > 01:00 DJ setMeer dan 10 jaar geleden scheerde dit art rock viertal uit Johannesburg alle mogelijke hoge toppen van muziekland: wereldtournee, magazine covers, ontmoetingen met de groten der aarde van de rockmuziek, debuutalbum After Robots overal geprezen als bepalend voor het decennium. En toen radiostilte. Het werd 8 jaar wachten op nieuwe releases en nog eens 3 jaar, tot 2021, op een nieuwe plaat. Abantu/Before Humans is minstens even jachtig en opzwepend als After Robots en gaat nog een stapje verder op het vlak van vooroordeelvakjes verpulveren. Indie art rock waarin afrobeat, funkrock en zelfs hip hop doorklinken. Lyrics waarin verschillende talen versmelten. Nu eens jazzy energie, dan weer psychedelische vibes en opeens zin om te headbangen. Misschien een goed idee om zelf te komen kennismaken met BLK JKS?https://www.instagram.com/blkjks
