Originally formed at the Sonic Arts Research Centre in Belfast, Northern Ireland, the group operate as an expanding, contracting and ever-changing collective. A no-holds-barred approach centred on a howling drummer-vocalist and menacing saxophones takes them to festivals such as SXSW & Brilliant Corners Festival of Jazz and has seen them support Melt Yourself Down (UK), Girl Band (IRE), El Ten Eleven (USA) and Get The Blessing (UK).
Bolstered by support from the PRS Foundation, Robocobra Quartet’s debut on 12” LP ‘Music For All Occasions’ has received accolades by the likes of The Quietus and BBC Radio 6. In support of the release, the group have toured throughout the UK & Ireland including appearances at jazz festivals, the back room of a pizza parlour in Liverpool and an in-store performance at Rough Trade Records.
The Nick Sober Experience is a newcomer project from Luxembourg. It was founded by multi-instrumentalist, producer, teacher and artist Nick Sauber. The music incorporates a variety of different influences: you can classify it as electronic experimental hip hop soul music. The focus is on unique, lovingly created and selected sounds. These individuals are embedded in mostly improvised structures and find their ways into one harmonic unity. His show is a story-telling scenario, a tasteful mixture of all kinds of sounds. It can make you dance, relax or it might bring your perception into altered states of mind, so feel free to be!
