Wooze at Pohoda on the Ground

Another confirmed name for Pohoda on the Ground festival is the British-Korean duo Wooze. The band describe themselves as pansori for the 21st century (a traditional Korean music genre) or baroque'n'roll. Our graphic designer and curator Tereza Maco saw Wooze live in Soul and said about them the following: "If the band DEVO was called futuristic art rock, then Wooze is metamodernist pansori, all nice and sweaty in the K-pop raincoat ".

Wooze were founded in 2017 in Brixton in London. They were formed out of Muddy Yard collective and consist of Theo Spark and Jamie She. Most of the original material was recorded in a studio, which they built in an abandoned construction warehouse, including the first single "Hello Can You Go". The video for the single was recorded in Seoul with famous K-Pop director Nuri Jeong. They released their debut EP “what's on your mind?” in May 2019. They are currently finishing their second EP. It will be released in autumn, and thus you’ll get a chance to hear a taste of it at the Trečín airport in early July.
