AB will be collaborating with other cultural houses in Brussels again in 2014. Following on from mutual projects with Bozar, Flagey and Beursschouwburg, AB now enters into an occasional association with Les Ateliers Claus. The first fruit of this collaboration is the concert below:
press reviews on Steve Gunn’s latest album ‘Time Off’:
Uncut : 8/10
Pitchfork: 7.9/10
The Wire: 8/10
Mojo: 8/10
Steve Gunn is a New York-based guitarist and songwriter.
Gunn’s voice is rambling and soft.
Generous compositions, gently presented.
Gunn’s a descendent of the Dead, but also of J.J.Cale and La Monte Young and Bert Jansch and Frank Hutchinson.
His guitar playing has a mesmeric quality, a tender circling that feels almost like being swaddled. He’s a nimble, expressive guitarist and a pleasantly lackadaisical vocalist, singing, as he does, about his Brooklyn neighborhood, or water bumping a waterwheel into motion, or taking a certain path through a field.
Here he will play with his band De Stervende Honden (Tommy Denys and Erik Heestermans).
Floris Vanhoof: Filmmaker, musician, instrument builder, performer and visual artist from Belgium. Unknown for many ears and eyes, unless you're familiar with his hit-releases "my parrot whistles pure tones" or "the invisible hand of the voltage control". don't miss Floris!
