Red Kite
Red Kite is Norway's new supergroup at the intersection of dizzying psychedelia, high-octane rock and ecstatic free jazz.
The band consists of members from several of the kingdom's most famous bands in the evergreen prog/jazz segment: Elephant 9, Shining, Bushman's Revenge and Grand General. A crew of "usual suspects" who alone guarantee a fresh cook in the pot!
The music of Red Kite has been described as "Gothic Mahavishnu for the new century" and has an audience far beyond the inner circles of jazz. In 2020, for example, they should have played at Europe's leading heavy rock festival Roadburn. The band released their debut album in 2019 on the British credit company Rare Noise Records. An album that ended up in the top 10 list of this year's best album in Jazzwise.
"We all listened a lot to rock and heavy when we grew up," says drummer Lofthus. "Only later did we discover jazz, prog and all sorts of other delights. For us, it's just Music, to the extent that everything is now just boiled together into a large organic stew ».
This concert will be another welcome opportunity for all audiences who want to freshen up the bakery after a year with few concerts. We guarantee solid delivery of explosive energy levels and high sound pressure from the stage in Storyville!
