Oli Steidle & The Killing Popes
Pressed down the gas pedal! High-energy power jazz and a wild mixture of art rock, fusion and punk.
Oliver Steidle is best known as the drummer of Der Rote Bereich, Peter Brötzmann, Philm, SoKo Steidle and Klima Kalima. He is one of the heads of the young Berlin avant-garde.
The Killing Popes are his testing ground for developing new rhythmic ideas and the possibility to weave together musical styles that shaped his youth: Hip hop, punk, grindcore and stuff like that, musical styles that kick you in the shins in a strong and socio-critical way - like jazz in its best years.
Oliver Steidle (drums, compositions), Frank Möbus (guitar), Dan Nicholls (keyboards), Phil Donkin (double bass)
VVK 14/10 Euro plus fee (AK 16/12 Euro)
