A terrific lineup at SPECTRUM this Saturday night sees a double-header of two thrilling live bands, one from Ireland, one from Finland, but both whose musicians have lit up the 12 Points stage, with all the originality and energy that the festival programme denotes.
Dublin-based math-rock outfit Alarmist make a welcome return to the scene with their quasi orchestral blend of experimental rock, jazz, math and electronic sounds.
Meanwhile Pauli Lyytinen’s Helsinki based Magnetia Orkesteri present a fierce and controlled cornucopia of 21st century free jazz meets western chamber music, with tightly woven compositions in an all star quartet.
