The Notwist & The Andromeda Mega Express Orchestra
The Arctic Circle in association with The Line Of Best Fit are incredibly excited to be announcing a very unique concert involving one of our favourite bands.
After many a celebrated concert in Hamburg, Amsterdam, Munich and Cologne, The Notwist & The Andromeda Mega Express Orchestra will be playing at the Union Chapel in London on the 12th December.
The combination of a 20-piece orchestra with a 5-piece band from Bavaria, holds a lot more promise than the typical “Rock meets Classical” set up. Instead, old and new Notwist songs are elaborated upon to form extremely complex and intelligent orchestral arrangements that are sometimes moody and often happily insane but live up to high expectations.
The Andromeda Mega Express Orchestra make music in their very own galaxy – a similar one to which Raymond Scott, Sun Ra or Bach and Beethoven must have once passed by.
These evenings celebrate a new interpretation and elaboration of the Notwistian songbook, which due to logistical reasons can only take place on a few very special occasions.
Last year, The Notwist released their album The Devil, You and Me via City Slang, for which the The Andromeda Mega Express Orchestra, conducted by Daniel Glatzel, contributed important orchestral arrangements. The Andromeda Mega Express Orchestra released their first album Take Off in May, on Notwist’s own label, Alien Transistor. Over the last two years the Munich based documentary filmmaker, Jörg Adolph, filmed the coming together of these two ensembles on stage and off. The DVD of the film Music, No Music will be available in stores from December, right on time for the tour.
Tickets for the show will go on sale this Friday 11 Sept at 10am. For further information visit: http://www.jointhecircle.net/
