In the last day of August (and maybe the Summer) Sofia's music lovers will be able to hear the British
blues/ folk artist Tim Holehouse and the Bulgarian drone duo Leaver playing together live at Fabrika Avtonomia, supported by the lo-fi lullabies of Maxim Mokdad.
The gig will be also a release date for Mr. Holehouse & Leaver's new EP 'Before The Fire', coming out on a tape via Amek Collective.
Back in May, 2016 Tim Holehouse & Leaver have only one day free in the schedule of their common tour, and they spent it in Unit 9 Rehearsals Studio, where they manage to record two tracks. The vocals are added later in 2017, recorded in London and Sofia. Tim works on the mixing himself, the mastering is done by Marius Costache (Studio 148) in Bucharest, Romania, who has been working with other Bulgarian bands as Expectations, Them Frequencies, King Of Sorrow. The result is mesmerizing music, filled with cloudy droning guitars and a voice, crisp and dry as the wind in burned out fields, before the autumn. Before the fire.
Tim Holehouse' shamanic music is not unknown to the Bulgarian audience - he has played in Sofia in 2013 and in 2015, also in Plovdiv and Pleven.
Leaver are Angel Simitchiev (Mytrip, King Of Sorrow) and Daniel Donchov (Expectations), who play together since around 2013. Their debut album 'Head Home' was released to a critical acclaim, including ours.
Maxim Mokdad is an indie musician, living in Sofia, Bulgaria, who's debut EP 'Tropic Of Cancel' will be soon released on cassette via Amek Collective - listen to the pilot track 'Supersonic Satellite':
The concert will take place at Fabrika Avtonomia. The start is 8PM, the entry is a free donation, as all the donations will go for the musicians, so that they can continue their work.
