Descrição
Off the back of a sell out headline show GoGo Penguin return for a very special performance at one of London’s most beautiful venues, the Union Chapel on 27 March 2015. After winning over crowds with a host of awe-inspiring performances and a prestigious Barclaycard Mercury Prize nomination, these guys show no signs of slowing down. Don’t miss out on your chance to see them in action.
The ‘hard-hitting jazz meets electronica Manchester three piece’ GoGo Penguin sold out their show in November so quickly, we were worried some of you may have missed the opportunity to see what all the fuss is about. We can’t have that can we?
Skittering breakbeats, telepathic interplay and a penchant for anthemic melody all contribute to a sound that’s wholly GoGo Penguin’s own. Featuring pianist Chris Illingworth, bassist Nick Blacka and drummer Rob Turner, the brilliant GoGo Penguin draw on a heady brew of influences from Squarepusher to Brian Eno, Debussy to John Cage and Massive Attack to create their unique, groove-heavy, highly lyrical, acoustic-electronica sound.
Their debut album ‘Fanfares’ (Gondwana Records) won rave reviews from the Guardian to BBC Music and support from the likes of Mike Chadwick and Gilles Peterson and was nominated for ‘best jazz album’ at the World Wide Awards.
Unusually for a piano trio, all three members play simultaneously to create an energy and cohesion that is both perfect for home listening and not out of place to a receptive club audience. It is the band’s unique ability to synthesise and develop each others melodic and harmonic ideas while drawing on music from classical to electronica that makes GoGo Penguin’s music so enthralling and their debut album such a powerful opening salvo from a powerful new voice in UK music.
