Mong Tong – why?
Even if your getting close to the stage you won’t be able to look Mong Tong into the eye, because these two Taiwanese on guitar/keyboard and bass always perform in traditional blindfolds, leading you on an aural journey through Austronesia. It’s a trip through crowded cities and holy temples, visiting street celebrations, weddings and funerals, listening to gamelan music and playing arcade games. The musical backdrop is a very particular mix of Krautrock and experimental Electronica, with funky bass lines over minimal beats and the alternation of folkloristic keys and Psychedelic licks as textures on top of it. Often relaxing, yet also mysterious and spooky this anachronistic duo invites you to a fascinating Eastern Asian enclave in the heart of Tilburg.
Mong Tong will be the last band to perform on the final day, Sunday, April 20!
