About this concert
Indie Rossstall 1 Preis VVK / AK: 35.- / 40.- Das schottische Songwriter-Duo Aidan Moffat und Malcolm Midd- leton spielen als Arab Strap launigen Indie-Rock über kaputte Leben, gescheiterte Beziehungen und warum es sich trotzdem lohnt weiterzumachen. Nach ihrem Durchbruch Mitte der 1990er, bei dem sie das Genre Bedroom Pop miterfunden haben, erfolgte eine zehnjährige Kreativpause. Zum Glück haben sich auch Arab Strap entschieden weiterzumachen und neue Alben aufzunehmen und kommen direkt nach dem Primavera Festival nach Basel gedüst, um eine exklusive Schweiz Show zu spielen.

Arab Strap Biography
Arab Strap were a post-folk indie band from Scotland, signed for the majority of their albums to independent record label Chemikal Underground. The duo had a short lived flirtation with a major label at the peak of their critical acclaim (post-Philophobia) when they signed to Go!Beat records (a former independent label now owned by Universal). Vocalist Aidan Moffat and multi-instrumentalist Malcolm Middleton met in Falkirk, Scotland, bonded over their mutual love for Drag City recording artists such as Smog and Will Oldham, and began a collaboration in 1995. The band is completed by violinist Jenny Reeve and cellist Stacey Sievewright. Arab Strap's marked characteristics include frank and forthright lyrics delivered in a Scottish brogue.
Aidan Moffat and Malcolm Middleton confirmed the rumours about the end of Arab Strap on 8th September 2006. They celebrated their Ten Years of Tears with a tour through the U.K. and the rest of Europe. After U.K./Europe, they made a short secret tour in Japan as the last of Arab Strap.
