About this event

Never seen before – seminal swamp - rockers The Scientists and Kim Salmon & the Surrealists on the same stage and at times all at once ! An off the rails salvage job fashioned into a beautiful cinematic work of abstract sound and vision featuring the live sounds and performances of 3 drummers, 2 guitarists, 2 bass players, 2 vocalists with all of them drawing on a repertoire of 160 songs to create a never to be repeated experience! The stage is set for seamless transitions between the various iterations of the Surrealists and Scientists as they pummel, glide and burn their way through a transcendent set that is built thematically and dynamically rather than sequenced chronologically describing their evolution.The Scientists belligerently eschewed standard melody for minimalism, brutality and abstraction but remained staunchly Rock and Roll.
