About this concert
A venti anni dalla loro formazione e a dieci dal loro scioglimento, gli ARAB STRAP dopo una mitica reunion lo scorso anno per tre live andati sold out in poche ore IN UK, arrivano in Italia, freschi di pubblicazione di un doppio album contenente secret hits e rarities dalla loro carriera. il duo cult-pop scozzese, composto da Aidan Moffat e Malcolm Middleton, arriva in Italia per celebrare il compleanno della band ad un anno dalla grande reunion ed a pochi mesi della pubblicazione del doppio album celebrativo. L’omonima compilation, che racconta i dieci anni di una carriera tanto influente quanto controversa, mostra tutte le straordinarie capacità di una band che ha sempre rifiutato di conformarsi a qualsiasi aspettativa. Dall’ottima Shy Retirer al piano noir di Love Detective, dal lo-fi sconnesso di The Clearing all’elettronica spartana di Rocket, Take Your Turn, gli Arab Strap si sono rivelati sempre senza paura ed originali sin dal primo minuto di Aidan in First Big Weekend del 1996.

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.
