KALLAI with Halou, Johnny Tupolev and DJ Wednesday

Kallai was formed in the summer of 2023 by members of Trance to the Sun, Luscious Apparatus and Lost Echoes. While inspired by the post-punk, shoegaze and doom acts of the past few decades, Kallais perspective is evolving with those scenes and seeking to spin sounds that unfold throughout time.MembersDavid Gross - Guitars, VocalsDaniel Henderson - DrumsCate Hukle - Guitars, Synths, VocalsBrian Wilcher - Bass Guitar Hailing from the Bay Area, HALOU /huh-loo/ is a band led by the songwriting duo Rebecca and Ryan Coseboom, accompanied live by musicians Sergey Ledovsky on drums, Andre Pasternak on bass, and Erica Mulkey on Rhodes Piano and backing vocals. Their current sound has been likened to a blend of Dark Fleetwood Mac and Angry Early Cocteau Twins, showcasing their evolution from their early trip-hop roots in the mid-90s. Noteworthy achievements in their history include a video for one of their songs obtaining 40M views on YouTube, 41K monthly listeners on Spotify, having one of their albums on KEXPs Most Played Albums of All Time list, releasing an album on the esteemed indie label Nettwerk Records, collaborating with artists like Robin Guthrie and Zoe Keating, performing showcase performances at SXSW and Bumbershoot (where they notably played two official shows at a single Bumbershoot), and opening for Bob Mould on a US Tour. HALOU released their newest EP, THE BUTCHERS BILL in Summer 2024. Vinyl will be released just in time for the show.Wuppertal Germanys alternative electro rockers inspire with a perfect synthesis of hard-hitting guitar riffs, pounding machine beats, and driving sequencer loops. Supported by Englands legendary producer John Fryer, known for his work with Depeche Mode, Nine Inch Nails, and White Zombie, their international sound is astonishing. In 2021, the band signed with the US label Cop-International, and five releases have followed to date, three of which have reached the top ten of the German alternative charts. Also worth mentioning is their collaboration with Richard Kruspe (Rammstein), Billy Gould (Faith No More), and Chris Hall (Stabbing Westward) as part of a joint project for victims of the Ukraine war in 2022. The three exceptional artists impressed with their special live qualities in the summer of 2023, when they became the first band in the world to sell out a 360-degree multimedia rock show with an extraordinary silent concert concept, ten times in a row. Suck on that, U2. Responsible for this and everything visual with Johnny Tupolev are two other friends and unofficial band members: Oscar-nominated VFX specialist Frank Petzold (All Quiet on the Western Front, Armageddon, Starship Troopers) and Emmy Award-winning video artist Christoph Vitt. These two will be accompanying the band on tour and producing a documentary.
