Sloth Racket @ Bitches Brew

In response to the eternal assumption that the only woman in the band must be the singer, Bitches Brew is a night of music written / improvised and performed by some of the best female instrumentalists around. Flying in the face of reports that all-female bands are often seen by bookers and agents as novelty acts, and that more than one in a night would just be over-kill, Emma presents a gloriously eclectic night of music which celebrates the mind-blowing variety of talent playing, dancing and pushing boundaries of creative music.
This Summer Sloth Racket embark upon a UK tour to celebrate the release of their third studio album on the Luminous Label, ‘A Glorious Monster’ (out 4th June). The band of UK improvisers is led by baritone saxophonist Cath Roberts, with Sam Andreae on alto saxophone, Anton Hunter on guitar, Seth Bennett on bass and Johnny Hunter on drums. Their shapeshifting sound ranges across musical territories taking in fiery free jazz, minimal improv textures and heavy riffs.

‘The group’s ability to move freely from jointly articulated statements to darkly atmospheric extended techniques is remarkable.’ – The Wire
