Concert organized in cooperation with Oorstof / SoundInMotion

As the finale of their '2024 Spring EU/UK tour', American noise combo Wolf Eyes is once again visiting AB. It's been 2017 (BRDCST festival) since Nate Young and John Olson took the stage here. On this tour, they have expanded into a trio with Belgian improv saxophonist/composer Hanne De Backer as their 3rd member.

Since their +25 years of existence, Wolf Eyes has left an indelible mark on the avant-garde and noise scene of recent decades. Not only the inexhaustible output, with besides masses of 'official' releases on labels such as De Stijl, Sub Pop, Hospital Productions and even Third Man records there have also been masses of obscure CDRs, tapes and digital releases. The band has also always been looking for interesting collaborations so they shared the stage and made recordings with many big names from the improv and noise scene such as Anthony Braxton, Merzbow, Sonic Youth, Dominick Fernow / Prurient, Black Dice, Double Leopards, Smegma, John Wiese, Andrew W.K., Jaimie Branch, Richard Pinhas,...

Besides her own, very punishing work, we also know Hanne De Backer from her g a b b r o -project and collaborations with Condor Gruppe, Ken Vandermark, Terrie Hessels, Paal Nillsen-Love,...In recent years, Hanne has become a fixture on the flourishing Belgian improv scene with her energetic and powerful sas playing.
