SUMMARY:TAKAAT in Bellingham
DESCRIPTION:Our annual Fall renegade show is here\, and this time we’re excited to present the Saharan desert rock band\, TAKAAT!\nThis show will be held at a public outdoor location\, which will be announced with an e-mail to ticket holders on the day before the show! \nTickets available via Brown Paper Tickets:\nhttps://takaatbellingham.brownpapertickets.com/ \nTAKAAT (pronounced tuh-cot)\, meaning “noise” in the Tuareg language Tamashek\, is the trio of Ahmoudou Madassane\, Mikey Coltun\, and Souleymane Ibrahim\, also known as the rhythm section of Mdou Moctar. TAKAAT is sonic chaos\, improvisation\, freedom of exploration\, and the punk styles of bands such as Fugazi and Unwound\, all mixed together with the guitar music from the Sahel. \nTAKAAT started during soundchecks while on the road with Mdou Moctar when the trio indulged their shared love for amps cranked to 11 and the sound of blown out speakers. Towards the end of 2023\, the three started writing music together\, inspired by their shared experiences with the sounds and energy of Hausa bar bands\, gritty soukous\, and 2000s post-punk. The music of TAKAAT is intense\, dark\, and energetic. Deeply inspired by the DIY ethos of punk\, Ahmoudou\, Mikey\, and Souleymane capture that thrill of the new and the ecstasy of togetherness in these heavy rockers. TAKAAT follows in the spirit of the independent music culture that birthed hardcore basement shows\, bedroom tape labels\, and generator-powered pick-up wedding bands. \nTAKAAT is noise!\nhttps://purplishrecords.bandcamp.com/album/takaat-is-noise-vol-1 \nWe’re happy to be joined by the fantastic local guitarist\, John Swanke\, who will perform an opening set:\nhttps://johnswanke.bandcamp.com/
