We are proud to be bringing the post-punk/metal/Balkan/Klezmer anarchic good news of KermesZ à l'Est to The Jam Jar (Bristol) on the 11th of May.KermesZ à l’Est
KermesZ à l’Est is a musical ensemble located at the unique crossroads of Eastern European traditional music, jazz and metal.
Formed in 2008, KermesZ à l’Est has forged their own musical identity, which they spread internationally from their native Belgium.
The band becomes dancers and conjure-up improbable guests, including a Walloonian necromancer, St. Nicotine, the meandering patron saint of smokers, and, of course, Octo, the group’s quadrupedal singer.
Wild beasts, black magic, maniacal dances, brutal trumpets and smoking prophets adorn these new-Balkan rantings, embellished with their hellish strollers, their living and stuffed menagerie, and even their own pet dinosaur.
