KB_ HOSTS: Manlio Maresca & Beatrice Sberna + shortformattentionspan + Yodel Queen (solo)

Independent collective KB_ returns to OCCII for their first event of Spring: a night of unruly duo action, new collaborations between Amsterdam, Berlin and Rome, and the celebration of the budding globalized scenes!

Manlio Maresca & Beatrice Sberna

A first live meeting of powerhouse exponents of international Italian avant-garde across two generations. Referencing advanced rhythmic techniques of contemporary jazz, early Italian hardcore and harsh noise, Maresca and Sberna find their middle ground in abrasive weirdness. Mechanical vs warm-blooded, destructive vs constructive, feedback vs argument. Video: Ho un maiale nel cervello IG: manliomaresca _beatricesberna_ ///

shortformattentionspan

Minute-length pieces for a Tik-Tok worthy attention span! Gen-z vs. millenial musings on condensed impro-sound and pop songs, figurative and abstract!! Deep or dumb!! An impression of the real thing’s essence!!!! All included on the guitar and drums duo of Gabriel de Oliveira and Chen Har-Even and their unorthodox, quick moving live set. IG: 9nijntjes chen_hareven /// Yodel Queen (solo) “Yodel Queen is a post-yodel schlagerpunk act born in Amsterdam, known for their surprising, text-driven performances. For the occasion of this KB-night, lead singer Meis Vranken will perform “Flat News I”, the first showcase of a new musical project she is developing, centering her house as a poetic space.” Yodel Queen – Latte
