GoGo Penguin, hypnotic junglist electro-Jazz, at Babs Asper Theatre!
Details
GoGo Penguin, the Manchester trio who inspirationally blend jazz, classical and electronic influences, return with a powerful new album, Necessary Fictions, which finds pianist, Chris Illingworth; bassist, Nick Blacka; and drummer, Jon Scott digging deep internally to reach “what we think are our integral, authentic qualities at this moment in time”.
It’s a powerful driver for some of their boldest music to date, incorporating modular synths, Moog Grandmother, and electric bass into their sound more than ever before as they glide spectacularly from acoustic instrumentation into electronica with drums to the fore. Honest and powerful, Necessary Fictions is the band at their very best. (from NAC)
GoGo Penguin are:
Chris Illingworth, piano,
Nick Blacka, bass &
Jon Scott, drums.
“[...] powered by fluttering, junglist drums, slithering bass lines and an increasing bank of Eno-esque digital manipulations. Hypnotic stuff. ”The Guardian

I picked a 68$ ticket because it looks great. Currently we have a few seats in row FF. Try to choose something near this and we’ll probably sit together. Row EE is a good idea if you buy soon! If not, sit anywhere you like and we'll all find each other to chat before and after anyway.
Photo of me below to make it really easy for you to find me . *Please be sure that your Meetup profile has your portrait photo because then we'll be looking for you also. Please RSVP to this meetup group and cancel your RSVP if you change your mind.
Good times!
