FREE EVENT: Led Bib
Relentlessly dodging definition, Led Bib are both a maverick jazz band and an unlikely rock quintet. Taking their name from a protective garment used on patients during dental treatment, this East London based five-piece pride themselves on side-stepping convention, with incendiary results. In the wake of fellow risk takers Acoustic Ladyland and Polar Bear, Led Bid are paving the way for an exciting new generation of jazz musicians, daring to rip up the rulebook and leap into the unknown. Consisting of Mark Holub (drums, bandleader), Liran Donin (bass), Toby McClaren (keyboards) and fronted by two alto sax players - Chris Williams and Pete Grogan - Led Bib are blazing a trail with their fiery and gutsy live shows. Driving melodies roar at full throttle, powered by Holub’s pounding drums.
"...One cool mutha of a death-jazz-cum-math-punk-freakout, as if Mike Patton had his wicked way with John Zorn." (Time Out)
