About this concert
Ruins uit Tokio en Zu uit Rome kennen elkaar al sinds eind jaren negentig, en tourden al verschillende keren samen. Beide bands creëren eigenzinnige vormen van muziek die genregrenzen doorbreken. Je kunt het progmetal noemen, al beschrijft dat maar het topje van de ijsberg. Dat ze zich ooit zouden samen gooien stond in de sterren geschreven. Sinds kort vormen drummer en zanger Yoshida Tatsuya van Ruins en saxofonist Luca T Mai en bassist Massimo Pupillo van Zu samen RuinsZu. In het voorjaar van 2024 touren ze voor de allereerste keer door Europa. Verwacht je aan zowel muziek van Ruins als Zu, maar ook aan splinternieuw werk! Niemand minder dan Jessica Moss opent de avond. De Canadese violiste was van 2001 tot 2016 een van de kernleden van Thee Silver Mt. Zion. Ze werkte samen met onder andere Vic Chesnutt, Patti Smith, Jim White, Guy Picciotto, BIG BRAVE en Melissa Auf Der Maur, speelt in Black Ox Orkestar en bracht al vier solo-albums uit. Het laatste, ‘Galaxy Heart’, verscheen in 2022 via Constellation Records. In dat solowerk verweeft ze post-klassiek met ambient metal, Oost-Europese folk en drone.

Zu Biography
Stubbornly free from any genre classification, Zu proudly follows
their musical path for over twenty years.
They questioned and evolved their musical identity, developing their vocabulary at each record release, without ever letting their creative freedom be suffocated by imposed labels.
All their strongest inspirations and artistic landmarks have given rise to a very varied production.
From the album Bromio in 1999 to the last Terminalia Amazonia in 2019, Zu's musical language has changed a lot, however their essence remains the same.
Throughout their history the band has cultivated the art of collaboration, joining forces with real music legends such as Mike Patton, Damo Suzuki of Can, Mats Gustafsson, King Buzzo of Melvins, David Tibet of Current 93, FM Einheit by Einsturzende Neubauten, Thurston Moore by Sonic Youth, Jim O 'Rourke, Peter Brotzmann, Eugene Robinson by Oxbow, Gabe Serbian by The Locust, just to name a few.
With the album "Carboniferous", from 2009, they reach the status of a cult band worldwide.
Carboniferous changed not only the Zu, but the whole trajectory of a substantial part of "noise rock", in evident lack of a better term. Ten years have passed since that record, and that of that water under the bridges that seems all new, again.
Jacopo Battaglia has returned behind the drums, recomposing as well as the original trio which has become a quartet in 2019 with the entry of guitarist Stefano Pilia.
Thousands of concerts worldwide and 18 albums later ...
