BYE BYE TSUNAMI, TEN PAST SEVEN + GAG REFLEX

BYE BYE TSUNAMI - experi-metal, post-mental sounds from planet 無

BYE BYE TSUNAMI are a group of sick individuals who thrive in uncertainty and find delight in the entropy of noise. The Copenhagen, Denmark-based trio employs disrupted rhythms, unique self built futuristic wind instruments, and heartbreaking cyborg screams to expand the musical language beyond its wildest horizons. Scavenging the distressing remnants of a future no one wished for, BYE BYE TSUNAMI are redefining the new era of post-real.

Lorenzo Colocci (flute, flaubosax, electronic), Soren Hoy (drums), and Uldis Vitols (bass) first met in pre-pandemic era Copenhagen after being respectively active in the noise/experimental/jazz/ metal scenes of Berlin, Copenhagen, and Amsterdam. Willing to realize their life dream of forming a dysfunctional boy band, in 2020 they finally give birth to BYE BYE TSUNAMI: monsters giving birth to other monsters.

BYE BYE TSUNAMI immediately captured the attention of the public with its unique sound imprint —the compositions are based on the Flaubosax, a unique self-built futuristic wind instrument conceived by Lorenzo’s twisted mind. Generating new soundscapes with the use of a personal asymmetrical tonal system and interacting with complex powerful drum rhythms, they lead the music through disrupted absurd forms and post-industrial spiritual textures. The band aesthetic and video works, curated by fictional audiovisual artist Nathan L., merge together meticulously in a truly visionary dystopian universe, which, despite its frenetic nature, possesses a paradoxical sense of poetic and emotional sensibility, raising highly relevant questions about the role of social media, advertisement, and gender in contemporary society.

Ten Past Seven emerged from the primordial bogs of Kerry in 2002 and have charted their own unique journey through the math rock/bog prog/alternative music scene ever since. 

Their second full length record ‘Long Live the Bogwalrus’ was released in 2020, through Art For Blind Records. Recorded by John “Spud” Murphy and Ian Chestnutt in Guerrilla Studios, the album features guest vocals by Landless, fiddle by Lankum’s Cormac MacDiarmada and hollers from sources too numerous to mention here but suffice to say the list includes a dog.

‘Writhing bass grooves and galloping drum frenzies invoke the gravelly golden era of Ireland’s mid-00s math rock scene, while distorted clouds of reverb and melody will make you crave the cathartic noise of a proper live show.’

Formed in college in late 2022, GAG REFLEX is an Irish-German Grunge band that rockets off iconic artists like The Pixies and PJ Harvey, building a soundscape one gut punch at a time. Drawing from gory literature such as Diane Seuss and Sarah Kane, the poetry soars sickeningly sweet only to be gutted by coarse and striking outbursts. GAG REFLEX leaves something crawling in the skin of their listeners, desperate to be haunted again.
