DIE ANARCHISTISCHE ABENDUNTERHALTUNG
A car going in four different directions at once. Classically de-railed and with a rock intention. As few preconceptions as possible, directly at the essence of music. Danceable musical poetry.
DAAU came into existence in Antwerpen around 1992. A couple of very young, classically trained musicians meet at the conservatorium in Antwerpen and start playing unconventional music. The band consists of
Roel van Camp (accordeon),
Han Stubbe (clarinet) and the brothers
Simon (cello) and
Buni Lenski (violin). Their name is inspired by Herman Hesse's novel,
Der Steppenwolf.
Their choice of instruments leads to a very distinctive style: a blend of Vivaldi, eastern-european music and Frank Zappa. They have covered Radiohead, the Beatles and dEUS alike. They have shared the stage with Flamenco ensemble
Alma Flamenca, the French electro-dub band
Ez3kiel and the classical orchestra
Jeugdharmonie Ypriana.
DAAU 2006: The band prepares to tour across Europe in support of the newest release, "Domestic Wildlife". Released on their own label, "Radical Duke Entertainment", the album showcases the sound developed on-stage in previous years. It is the first release featuring
Boots on drums and
Fré Madou on bass.
