@ The Rose Hill
“The Bohman Brothers and Romuald Wadych have at last risen from the cinders of The Dave Craught Five. On this evening, after seven months of two shows a night at The Varna Club in Memel – they will arrive in Brighton to present a salute to some of those other members of the DC5: Jack McGrumber, Kenneth Trompette, Shane Forte. They will play a selection of the old material and a few new ones.”
The Bohman Brothers
Adam Bohman and Jonathan Bohman have been recording together since their early teens and playing live since 1984.
Their repertoire includes a combination of sounds created in the moment and distinct compositions including songs. They use unconventional instruments, household objects, dislocated text from found, literary and commercial sources and collaged layers of recordings.
“It’s hard to describe the raw, explosive audio art they perpetrate. Everyday objects and sounds are worked on until they become saturated with lurid suggestion, resulting in a bizarre, hysterical immediacy. The convulsive beauty bears comparison to both composers Helmut Lachemann and James Dillon and to sound terrorisers Bark! and Furt. Nevertheless, in the traditions of the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band, the Bohman Brothers kitchen-sink realism laughs at the grand claims of lofty art. They will show you fear in a sponge from a drainer.”
