ROCCOCO PRESENTS NOOKEE: CLAROSCURO + ELIS PENRI

Roccoco presents the exclusive homecoming performance of NOOKEE’s live concept album: CLAROSCURO a sensory journey of sound experimentation visuals and storytelling.

A woman’ is swimming in a warm sea her head above water. The sea becomes cold and she begins to sink to the depths of the ocean appearing to herself as an octopus. She finds herself in the devil’s dining room bound to the trickster’s marbling eye. As she battles her way out of the lair and swims closer to the surface she's approached by the Devine who humbles her through a reminder that her journey is not over...

+ Support from Elis Penri

An outlaw from the Welsh mountains Elis Penri brings melodic poetry and storytelling to his show with snake-charming guitar and harmonica.

About the artists:

A soulful story-driven fusion of funky grooves and ethereal harmony.

More a family bond than a band NOOKEE’s fronting identical twin sisters weave blood-matched harmonies through genre-defying sounds from their newfound brothers. Unrestrained by any method this group’s curated live show has been likened to that of Frank Zappa and Earth Wind & Fire. Bringing to the stage more than just sound this six-piece band takes advantage of all performative elements including outfits props narrative and theatrics. NOOKEE’s set sonically ebbs and flows through a spectrum of emotions showcasing the powerful vocals of 70’s soul hypnotic grooves from samba to disco and the punchy sounds of psych rock.
