BO NINGEN LIVE SOUNDTRACK THIS SATURDAY
SATURDAY 3RD SEPTEMBER, LONDON: BO NINGEN PLAY LIVE TO CAT SOUP
As a Festival taster in London, Branchage presents Bo Ningen performing their live soundtrack to Japanese anime CAT SOUP at the Bold Tendencies Gallery / Franks Cafe at the Peckham multi-story car park - arguably London's most unusual and brilliant summer venues!
Tickets are FREE! But... they're selling out fast, so book yours now, here: http://boldtendencies.com/events
Japanese sound-merchants Bo Ningen perform their live soundtrack to surreal anime CAT SOUP, after first performing it at Branchage 2010 in Jersey.
CAT SOUP (Tatsuo Sato, Japan, 2001) is an award-winning animation inspired by the work of manga artist Nekojiru. This twisted and surreal anime follows little kitten Nyatta as he travels to the land of the dead and back in an effort to save his sister's soul. More disturbing than Itchy & Scratchy, the film is full of dreamlike freakish images... it has been likened to Hello Kitty on acid!
BO NINGEN are four Japanese guys living in London. With their head-bending jams and wig-outs, they usually play an updated J-Rock template with elements of kraut-rock, psyche, metal, hardcore and funk. But their art sensibilities lead them to many collaborations and experiments.
