The Audio Foundation is pleased to present two nights with Berlin based pop/disco destructivists Hunger.
For the first show Hunger are joined by surrealist performance artist Magic Steven (Melbourne), and local heroes of whack boogie Drorgan and synthpsych legend Power Nap.
Hunger - specialists for musical accidents // faulty Disco Punk
The band Hunger, currently based in Berlin, consists of Christoph Rothmeier (The Entertainers’ Dry Eye, Kröter), playing drumset, drum computer, synthesizer, trumpet and singing,
and Jörg Hochapfel (Onom Agemo & The Disco Jumpers, Andromeda Mega Express Orchestra), playing synthesizers, melodica, tambourine and singing.
Often they play music together without playing together, or they invent cruel musical rules for themselves. Sometimes this results in tightly knit songs, although with a significant blurriness. And sometimes it results in terrible accidents - these are unavoidable, but welcome, while still being terrible accidents.
