Sonic Youth Gossip - View Single Post - Lee Ranaldo (tbc) at Open Circuit festival in Hasselt

sonicl · 01.05.2007, 03:58 AM

Following the success of our past 4 events, we can confirm news of a forthcoming FatCat Open Circuit mini-festival event at Kunstencentrum BELGIE venue in Hasselt, Belgium. Like last year's amazing show, this event will take place over the course of two nights - Friday 2 and Saturday 3 February, 2007.

There will be sets from a large number of FatCat artists and friends, including debut European shows for The Twilight Sad, Songs Of Green Pheasant, Silje Nes, Gang Wizard, Ensemble, and Welcome. There will also be sets from pianist / composer Hauschka (whose album is out on 130701 in February); Thurston Moore favourites, Gang Wizard; noise-drenched damaged rock from The Hospitals; gorgeous, pared-back songwriting from Nina Nastasia; plus a live audio / visual collaboration between laptop improvisers Antenna Farm and Semiconductor (whose DVD we will release in February, and who will also be screeining films during this event). There will also be a special project from Iceland's Múm (the details of which we will announce soon), and (still to be confirmed) a collaborative set involving Sonic Youth guitarist Lee Renaldo.

FAT CAT 'Open Circuit' participates with the Hasselt cultureweekend SHOTS: http://www.hasseltshots.be/ With confirmation awaited from a further few artists, there will also be a number of sets where some of the above artists will perform improvised collaborations together for the first time. The shows will take place in a number of different rooms within the venue, and there will also be a cinema room and installations. All in all, it should be an amazing event.

I may be tempted to come over to the land of good beer and chocolate for that.

EDIT - maybe not, I'm hopefully going to be moving house that week.
