Steamboat Switzerland

Lucas Niggli – GLUT1

Somewhere between jazz and metal, hardcore and avant-garde

Line-Up
Dominik Blum Hammond organ Marino Pliakas BassLucas Niggli Drum Kit
This is a band that has become a brand. A trio of musicians who think with their guts and feel with their brains. What they also have in common is improvisation - and being tough. Tightrope walkers, daredevils, hasbaras, troublemakers, drunken boys. Kamikaze pilots. The openness of their rigour and the playfulness of their unleashing make them the Houdinis of the tricky, the berserkers of performance. Here the stage, there the audience - but the spark is immediate. What is on offer here is hypertrophic, energetic music. Hot and fertile.

Steamboat Switzerland, that's intercerebral conjunctions, interpretations of congenial authors, sensations of free improvisation and an irrepressible joy of playing that makes you think: After us, the flood! It's only good when you're on the boat. Crossing borders at the edge of our galaxy. Playable or unplayable, in the end the compositions fall from the stage like glowing meteorites from our very last Armageddon. Retrievable by character. Mix and match to suit your mood. Modular. Explosive in the moment. Multi-diomatic. Full of cunning and verve.
