Description
FARAQUET (US / Dischord Records) — live in Berlin
Formed in the late ’90s in Washington, DC, Faraquet emerged as one of the most distinctive voices of experimental rock, combining intricate melodies, sharp dynamic shifts, and unconventional song structures. Though their original run was brief, the band left a lasting imprint on the ’90s indie and progressive underground.
In 2025, Faraquet return to celebrate the 25th anniversary of their cult LP The View From This Tower, released by Dischord Records. Initially somewhat overlooked, the album has since become a landmark of ’90s experimental rock and is now regarded as one of the key math-rock records, influencing a generation of musicians with its sharp dynamics, intricate playing, and unconventional structures.
To mark the occasion, Devin Ocampo, Jeff Boswell, and Chad Molter reunite for their first live performances since 2008. The anniversary tour is limited to just a handful of carefully selected dates.
Support:
Painting (Berlin)
A breathlessly unpredictable collision of punk energy, math-rock time signatures, techno beats, free-jazz sax solos, blaring synthesizers and tumbling call-and-response vocals, Snapshot Of Pure Attention is the incredible second album by fast-rising Berlin trio Painting. Their debut album Painting Is Dead was hailed as "the greatest new band in the German pop avant-garde" by Rolling Stone.
Presented by Positive Transmitter.
