Damo Suzuki's Network

Sat Aug 4, 2012 UFO Club

Time Out says

Itinerant musician Damo Suzuki fell in with seminal German avant-rockers Can after former vocalist Malcolm Mooney left the band, and lent his idiosyncratic vocals to many of their best albums, including Tago Mago and Ege Bamyasi. Despite officially retiring from music in 1974, he would resume his activities a decade later, starting an ongoing tour that has been continuing ever since. Suzuki hooks up with a different group of musicians (or, as he dubs them, 'sound carriers) in each place he visits; this all-night gig finds him tussling with The Heavymanners, the dub reggae band led by Dry & Heavy bassist Takeshi Akimoto. There'll be an additional live collaboration between Masaya Nakahara (aka Hair Stylistics), Toshio Kajiwara and dancer Yoko Higashino, plus DJs including former Yura Yura Teikoku drummer Ichiro Shibata.
