DJAM KARET 25th YEAR ANNIVERSARY TOUR 2009
The award-winning instrumental music group Djam Karet will be
performing a few select live performances this year, both in the United
States and in Europe, to celebrate their
25th anniversary together. These will be their first performances in
seven years.
On August 22nd 2009 Djam Karet will be the headliner at a 3-day Progressive music festival called the http://www.festival-crescendo.com/ - Crescendo
Festival ,
located on the beautiful west coast of France. For more then 10 years,
this great festival has been held every August in the picturesque
seaside town of Saint
Palais sur Mer. Djam Karet feels very honored to be this year’s
headliner at this important European festival. Djam Karet will also be
performing at a few Los Angeles area
events in the weeks prior to the French show, the details of which are
still being worked out. Updated information on these performances will
be available soon, including times
and locations.
Formed in 1984, they have released 15 albums so far. The group will be
performing music from throughout their long career, much of which has
never been performed live before.
They will also be debuting some brand new tunes as well. These shows
are a rare opportunity to see a group that ELECTRONIC MUSICIAN Magazine
said "Rivals the glory days of Pink
Floyd". These will be the first live shows by Djam Karet since they
performed at http://www.nearfest.com/ - NEARfest with Porcupine Tree in 2001, and at
http://www.progday.com/ - ProgDay with Happy The Man in 2002.
Working in their private studio, Djam Karet has been able to create a
full and massive live sound by adding an additional player to their
live performances. For these
performances the line up is: Gayle Ellett (keyboards & guitar),
Mike Henderson (guitar), Aaron Kenyon (bass), Chuck Oken, Jr. (drums
& electronic percussion) and Mike Murray
(guitar). New music and new arrangements of older tunes, are the main
focus.
There are also some new CD projects nearing completion, with more information to be announced later. http://www.djamkaret.com/ - http://www.djamkaret.com/

Excellent. Since they probably won't be visiting Atlanta, maybe a live DVD in the future plans?
