9.00 pm, Concert in the Alte Theater Dessau

Spiritual Front
Nihilist Suicide Pop, Neofolk, Dark Cabaret at its best

Vocals and Guitar: Simone Salvatori
Electric guitar: Giorgio Maria Condemi
Piano and keyboards: Sten Puri
Drums: Andrea Freddy Nio


The band describes its style – with not a little irony – as nihilist suicide pop, in contrast to the Wikipedia's description as „neo-folk, post-punk and dark cabaret“. In fact, the Italian group's style is simply and refreshingly unmistakable; it cannot be pigeon-holed and is thus as free from pre-conceptions as the music of Kurt Weill. Their current CD „Rotten Roma Casino“ is full of profound pop gems clothed in an experimental sound. The songs range in mood from cheerfully-breezy to bleakly-disturbed, combined with bittersweet tango sounds, Western melodies and a just a dash of classical music, all of which shouldn't distract the listener from the poetic lyrics. Want to know what happens when Spiritual Front interprets the songs of Kurt Weill? Just head along to the Alte Theater in Dessau.
