Slon: Post-Rockers announce first tour dates
Austrian Post-Rock band Slon have followed up on their promise of touring with first announcements of a couple of German dates. Only a few months back, the group caught our ears with their “Jelenka EP”, a both relaxed and ambitious effort, which included short musical scenes and epic pieces made up of diverse moods and stylistic allusions. “Based around a solid core of guitar, bass, drums and embellished by cello and electronics, this fourpiece has definitely developed a vocabulary of its own. Their sombre guitarstring-themes and recursive harmonies are stilly pointed in the direction of post-whatever, but their lyrical poetry and brittle structures are both different from the harsher edges of the genre as well as from its mathematically founded art-jazz experiments:” is what we wrote at the time and with concert dates a mere month and a half-away, we still stand by our judgement.
As Guitarist Andrei informed us, Slon are still looking for further dates to add to their tour, so anyone who would like to see the band peform at their local concert hall or club is invited to let the band know about fresh possibilities and perspectives. For the time being, this is the schedule for Slon’s Summer tour 2008:
07.6 - münchen, kafe kult (w/ ...who calls so loud)
10.6 - jena, cafe wagner (w/ men killing men)
12.6 - berlin, lokal (w/ men killing men)
14.6 - zlin, u tetoura (w/ men killing men)
