Sounds Like
"influences from sun ra to sonic youth to hardcore and back. Plus they rock." - MARC RIBOT -
" East Rodeo is a breath of fresh air!
They utilize sonic space and dynamics like hallmark bands Led Zeppelin and
Pink Floyd did. Yet keep a tight reign over their own sound and employ a
cutting edge that rocks as hard as one may need to rock while still
maintaining consciousness.
It is an amazing work! Very strong and alive. I like the symphonic-like rock
approach.
Touching on musique concrete and this kind of Stockhausen school, yet not
sounding stuffy or too legit....still a rock band." - GREG COHEN -
East Rodeo is an experimental avant-rock band founded by Alen Sinkauz (bass), Nenad Sinkauz (guitar, voice) in Padua in 2002. Two Croatians against two Italians. East versus West. Composers versus Improvisors. Tension, melody, noise, rhythm, psychedelic….the stage is the path for the battle.
In 2003 they released the first album “KOLO” (broadcasted alive on the program “Stanza della musica” RadioRAI3) and the second new album “DEAR VIOLENCE” is ready to be printed.
Currently (always), the band is promoting new material.
Some of the peculiarities of the East Rodeo is a collaboration with Tam teatromusica (experimental audio art theater from Padua) and art director Michele Sambin. Together they realised (from 2002 till now) more than 10 theater productions and performances.
The band performed at a number of important festivals along with some of the most renewed contemporary artists: Sherwood Festival(Padova, Italy), Trn Fest (Ljubljana, Slovenia), Explosive! 2002-'03 (Bremen, Germany), Kulturetage (Oldenburg, Germany), Istra Etno Jazz Festival w. John Zorn's masada (Pula, Croatia), Ortigia Theatre Festival w. Dario Fo (Siracusa, Italy), Milanocontemporanea Art Festival (Milano, Italy), Monteccio Rock Festival (Montecchio, Italy), PUF Theatre Festival (Pula, Croatia), Milano Film Festival (Milano, Italy), Pula film festival (Pula, Croatia), Arezzo Wave Love Festival (Arezzo, Italy), Venice airport festival, Audio Art Festival (Krakow, Poland) ...along with a lot of club shows around Italy, France, Poland, Slovenia, Croatia and Austria. In December 2007 the 2. Polis Adriatic Europe Festival (Pula, Croatia) presented a site specific multimedial performance "Brodship" under the art direction of Alen and Nenad Sinkauz .
East rodeo composes music for documentaries and short films.
