| Blog: Report: Ugress Live Cinema |
Let's have a nice hot cup of bubbly dub afternoon tea in the laboratory.
While we wait for the upcoming album.
Ugress thrives in the lit shadows between stage and screen.
Saturday May 5th, Ugress plays live in the cinema at Cinemateket USF in Bergen. Featuring special guest star Thomas T. Dahl on electric guitar and effects.
Sunday May 6th, Ugress Kids and Bajazz turns the cinema into a electro jazz rock-disco boom laboratory for kids between the age of 5 and 500. The mad professor and his crew are very enthusiastic in their cinematic disco beats but also rather clumsy and forgetful. There might be need of assistance from individuals skilled in producing noise.
Performances in cooperation with Cinemateket USF, Bergen Jazzforum, Bajazz. Supported by Fond For Utøvende Kunstnere.
