Description
ATLANTA is an instrumental jam band from the Netherlands consisting of drummer Bob Hogenelst (Birth Of Joy/Molasses), bassguitarist Sebas van Olst (Typhoon/Cool Genius) and guitarist Pieter Holkenborg (Automatic Sam/Ten East). The three members share their love for bands like Jimi Hendrix Experience, Yawning Man, electric Miles Davis, ICP Orchestra, The Nels Cline Singers and instrumental Black Flag in their spontaneous improvisations.
All ATLANTA performances are completely and strictly improvised. The band refuses to play on a stage and prefers not to use the PA. ATLANTA is all about electricity, communication and energy between the band members and the audience. The record is a new step forward in experimentation and dynamics for ATLANTA.
It is an album that isn't about soloing, but about composing real songs on the spot. Guitarist Pieter Holkenborg: "Instead of a musical experience it's more like a psychological game, or fight, between your brain and heart and the brains and hearts of the other two guys. When all three of us get on the same wavelength it can get really intense. It's a weird combination of melancholy and sheer joy that strikes me on those moments."
NUGRYBAUTI (Lithuanian): to become distracted during a task, literally to get lost wandering in search of mushrooms.
