FLAMMER DANCE BAND LARK, Berlin am 17.02.26

Flammer Dance Band’s first proper European tour last winter was an absolute ball:

The heavy Afro-psychedelic outfit from the far north had absolutely blown us away already with their expert job backing Ghana’s enigmatic “Funky” Rob on his tour beginning of 2023, but their own concerts were next level as far as funkiness, stage presence, and humor are concerned.

Flammer is being run by a bunch of veteran breakdancers who, years ago, had been perfecting their moves by rocking and popping to the Afro-funk of Rob, Ebo Taylor, and Fela Kuti.

The energetic 7-piece is all about vintage synths, spaced-out effects, hip-shaking grooves, and headbanging breaks! Tight-ass rhythm and quality musicianship, with the freedom, spontaneity, and energy of a jam band.

While they are already household names inside their home country, attracting hundreds of listeners (and viewers, as their shows are spectacles), we now want to spread the gospel of Flammer all across Europe!

Flammer had first been recognized by the international music-loving audience when releasing their first 7-inch "Mer / Holder Rytme" in 2020 on their own Lyskestrekk imprint, immediately establishing them as a weird and wonderful act to watch out for.

In the fall of 2024, they released their new album "Gynger", again on their own label, a mostly instrumental masterpiece of interlocking, funky guitars, wild percussion, and occasional mumbled vocals:

But, like with all great bands, it is still best to catch this volcano of a collective live in concert.
