$12/$8 for members

[listen to Konk Pack at myspace]

Hartford, Connecticut – Improvisational trio Konk Pack comes to Real Art Ways on Thursday, March 25, at 8 PM. Konk Pack is composed of world-class improvisers Tim Hodgkinson, Thomas Lehn, and Roger Turner. The sensitivity of British improvised music – the crackling and snapping of Lehn’s electronics, the howling and roaring of a reed and a table top guitar by Hodgkinson, and the rattling and rustling of Turner’s percussion – is melded together by the group's over the top attitude. Tickets are $12/$8 for Real Art Ways' members. Real Art Ways is located at 56 Arbor St. in Hartford, CT. For more information, contact 860.232.1006 or realartways.org

Konk Pack is:
Tim Hodgkinson • flat guitar, electronics, reeds
Roger Turner • drumset & percussion
Thomas Lehn • analogue synthesizer

For over ten years, this group has amazed audiences at festivals and concerts all over the world with the sheer energy of its rapid-fire interplay.
 
“Grob label artists Konk Pack are utterly awesome. Featuring Thomas Lehn on the craziest old EMS synthi A, Tim Hodgkinson on flat guitar and Roger Turner on percussion, the show is awkwardly brilliant and defiant. With startling combinations of punkish nuisance, ingenious change-ups, and rolling, stumbling, tripping and flipping sound inventions, Konk Pack is one of the most exciting Improv groups in the world.” – Lee Henderson, The Wire
