BATTERIE performed in the Sydney Festival show 41 Strings by Nick Zinner + Drum Circle IIII at The Sydney Opera House on 22nd January.
The massive drumming ensemble was put together from 20 local indie drummers and 2 synth players. The drum circle was lead by Hisham Akira Bharoocha (The Bordems) , Brian Chase (The Yeah Yeah Yeahs) and Ryan Sawyer (Thurston Moore)
The performance was workshopped and rehearsed with the New York guests and 20 local drummers from bands such as Seekae, PVT, Holly Throsby, Midnight Juggernaughts, The Mess Hall and included expressive improvisation, dynamic swells, and lots of tightly locked unison rhythms.
The sound of the 20 drummers in the Opera House concert hall was described by SMH reviewer Harriet Cunningham as “At full volume, sharing the Concert Hall with this band was a bit like having a vigorous body massage while sitting inside a fully operational jumbo jet”
BATTERIE to support New York art pop group GANG GANG DANCE at the Sydney Opera House studio theatre on Dec 10th.
Gang Gang Dance - NYC
BATTERIE is very excited to be supporting one of his favorite experimental art pop bands GANG GANG DANCE (signed to 4AD) at The Opera House. It will be also be enjoyable returning to the Opera House stage as a solo artist where in years past he has played with his other original groups CODA and PROP. BATTERIE has even played drums disguised in a tuxedo with the actual Sydney Symphony Orchestra.
