Austrian trio Elektro Guzzi, who astounded us at the first MENT Ljubljana festival by playing techno live on a guitar, bass and drums, is coming back with a new album. Polybrass drastically expands and amps up the band’s sound with the help of three heavy-weight trombonists, also familiar from bands such as The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble, Sand and Zeitkratzer. The upcoming concert will of course feature the brass section as well.

Elektro Guzzi play techno. They don’t spin, mix or produce techno – no, the trio actually plays techno on instruments, without any computerized assistance. It might be hard to believe until you see and hear it live, but the erasing of the boundaries between analogue and digital, between live feeling and electronic precision, has been leaving audiences all over the world speechless since 2004.
