  • Bio

    “Knalpot are a hyper-energetic Dutch two piece - Gerri Jager on drums, and Raphael Vanoli on guitar and electronics. Despite their limited number, they manage to sound like a bastard hybrid of a load of Rune Grammofon and Warp bands - the skronk of Supersilent, the punk of MoHa, the mathematics of Battles, and the electronic of Pivot. Their set began with drilling noises and drone mutating into jazzy post-rock rhythms, before the drummer started slapping his kit with chains as the guitarist spat out bursts of noise, the two coalescing in spasmodic rhythmic fits. AFX acid electronics and casio burble were equally at home among the grooves. Speaking of which, the pair pulled their woolly hats down over their eyes and fell into a ridiculous monster of a groove for the finale, like the locked groove of This Heat’s “Health and Efficiency”, somehow managing to end in sync, and to huge applause from the Bimhuis crowd. Knalpot are ones to watch, no doubt.” (Scott McMillan)
