The Japanese math-rock band Tricot to perform in the Záhrada and Nová Cvernovka clubs in early October

Tricot are back to Europe at the Walking x Walking tour. The tour will also include appearances in Slovakia—in Banská Bystrica’s Záhrada on the 5th October and a day later in Bratislava’s Nová Cvernovka. The music of this math-rock band is defined by wildness, musicality, and energy: visitors could get a full first-hand experience at their four concerts at Pohoda and shows in Košice, Žilina, and Bratislava. Since their last visit to Slovakia, they have released several great albums, and especially the latest one (Jodeki) is, in addition to a routinely virtuoso performance, an extremely entertaining record.  Quatro Emocione will open the Tricot concert. → read more
