9pm- Kotorino
Genre: Parlor Rock
For fans of: Arcade Fire, DeVotchKa, Hazmat Modine
Jeff got together some friends, some family and some people he never met before to make music, music for people, new music –yet familiar. Sometimes a show may consist of the full band squeezing onto a tiny stage at the back of a bar, or maybe saw, banjo and violin for the 8th Annual Musical Saw Festival, another time it might be tuba, pump organ and vocals playing for a trapeze review. It’s always different, always interesting, always fun.
From there, twangy Americana banjos morph into something that sounds like a European waltz. Then come eerie child-like voices accompanied by what can only be a musical saw. This is all to say: Kotorino has one of the most unique and unusual sounds of any band, ever. Even in a music scene saturated with ‘chamber-pop’ bands and odd instrumentation, Kotorino stands out with its use of all variety of winds, strings, and other musical gadgetry. The music itself is omnivorous in its source material, quite pretty, and downright haunting.
