A wondrous, whirling Friday of Eastern European / Arabic folk and loop pedal licks at Helter Skelter with the brilliant La Mort Subite and Green Man…

Conjuring images of a smoky worker’s bar in Paris, a wild night-time gathering around a gypsy campfire, a drunken hungarian wedding party in the small hours and a Greek taverna on a hot summer’s evening, La Mort Subite takes its name from the eponymous café in Brussels. Featuring guitars, saxophone, clarinet, accordion, double bass, percussion, tambura, and even a hurdy-gurdy, they weave a riveting Eastern European / Arabic dance show.

Opener Green Man is the solo project of La Mort Subite’s tenor sax player Edd Keene, manipulating the loop pedal in myriad mysterious and wonderful ways. Edd has been a member of many bands including Smudged, Burnt Lychee and Amorphous Androgynous.
