For:

Tour of UK & Ireland Supporting a New 12" LP

tourposternov2016

Mining influence from jazz, hardcore punk and contemporary classical music, Robocobra Quartet sound like little else. As an expanding, contracting and ever-changing collective, the group began performing live in 2014 after studying at the Sonic Arts Research Centre in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Since then, their no holds barred approach – centered on a howling drummer vocalist and offset by menacing saxophones – has garnered the group a reputation as a must-see live act. Robocobra Quartet’s brew of spoken vocals, effects-laden bass and raw improvisation has taken them to festivals such as Electric Picnic & Brilliant Corners Festival of Jazz. Bolstered by support from BBC Radio 6 and Loud & Quiet, 2016 has seen the band perform throughout the UK, Ireland & Europe whilst conducting recording sessions in studios and concert halls around Belfast. This culminates in the release of a 12″ LP titled Music For All Occasions, out November 18 supported by tour dates throughout UK & Ireland, funded by the PRS Foundation:

Nov 8 – GLASGOW – Bar Bloc
Nov 9 – DURHAM – Empty Shop
Nov 10 – MANCHESTER – Castle Hotel

Nov 13 – BRISTOL – Mothers’ Ruin
