YACHT (US) on tour forever!+ Echodeck (SE)

tirsdag 30. oktober 2007 kl. 21:00 på plass

YACHT er den norskættede laptoptrollmannen Jona Bechtolt fra Portland, Oregon, kanskje bedre kjent som tidligere medlem i The Blow. Til Spasibar kommer han alene med solobandet YACHT, som er en slags krysning mellom karaoke og lanparty. Vi ønsker YACHT tilbake til Spasibar med sine spastiske dansemoooves og morsomme beats. Mens du venter sjekk ut bloggen hans den nye plata og klipp fra turneen hans med LCD Soundsystem. Jona Bechtolt har sluttet i The Blow og turnerer nå med eget materiale i YACHT. Den nye plata " I Believe In You. Your Magic is Real" er album of the week på Rough Trade Shops i London. Dette er fra Shanghai, 5. oktober:

30. oktober spiller han i Oslo. Billetter kan forhåndskjøpes på platebutikken Tiger

NY VIDEO:

No one knows why Jona Bechtolt calls his band YACHT and, to be honest, not many people have even really heard of the group. Actually, now that I think about it, I’m not sure I’m even that familiar with the music, myself. Weird. But have you seen the show? Shit is good. Like, very good. Known as much for his effeminate, wildly sexual “dancing,” as he is for creating damaging beats and—let’s just say it—weird visuals, Bechtolt owns the room, and invites everyone to kill it with him. See, this isn’t some karaoke-glam-glitch-electro-what aesthete with a microphone, inspiring a detached staring contest; this is a pinata birthday slam, and you’re fucking chugging lemonade. This is YACHT, dude. And this is our grunge.
