Maraudeur, Mia La Metta, Leo Hermitt

Alphaville presents, live at Kamera (above the Lloyd & Platt pub in Chorlton)

Maraudeur - Maraudeur is a Leipzig-based, international lo-fi post-punk band known for its DIY, art-punk sound featuring dual bass guitars, minimalist drums, and surrealist synths. Originating as a bedroom project in Geneva by Lise Sutter, the six-piece group performs in French, German, and English, creating a unique, danceable, and "jagged-edge" sound. Seemingly taking influences from British synth and the dancier side of the New York No Wave scene, Maraudeur’s drum machines, real drums, synthesisers and bass are all utilised along with found sounds to create an infectious form of blown-out, polyrhythmic wave music that is as pop as it is avant-garde

Leo Hermitt - Leo Hermitt is a multidisciplinary artist, performer, writer, poet and musician based in Manchester UK. Leo Hermitt shapes sound like it’s slipping through memory. Stripped-back electronics meet hushed, hypnotic lyricism, creating an atmosphere that feels like drifting through half-remembered dreams.

Mia La Metta - Leeds-based, member of ‘Beards’ and Nape Neck, Kathy Grey’s solo project. Sythy art-pop constructions skewed with bizarro effects, wonked guitar and dreamy vocals.
