HALA
With shocking effect and energy HALA explores a diverse theatrical interplay based on the vocalist Helene Matthia’s fairytale-like compositions. Their music sounds nearly absurdist and evil, and scatters from progressive rock, avant-pop and (free) improvisation to avant-garde and cabaret. You hear influences from artists such as Acoustic Ladyland, Neneh Cherry and Frank Zappa; with Helene Matthia on vocals, Arno Bakker on sousaphone, Jorrit Westerhof on guitar and Gerri Jäger on drums.
