Kaparte forthcoming events

 
Friday 30 May

Nocturne Folks @ The Half Moon
The Dirty Cakes 
(feat. Dear Britch)
The Tallyman Dark OMNIBUS
Keshco
The Dirty Cakes have created a cutting edge sound, packed full of cabaret jazz punk melodies that are lightly dusted with a dark and sometimes eerie aroma.

The Dirty Cakes are music to play over black and white silent movies, watched by an audience wearing top hats and tapping their feet, dressed like glam goth rockers with back combed hair and drinking gin cocktails.

Richard Leviathan (Ostara)
Richard Leviathan began his musical career working with Douglas P. of Death in June who produced the first two Strength Through Joy albums between 1995-6.
'Evocative titles, intellectually stimulating poetry, strong melodies, a feel for language, smooth clear voices and a polished professional sound characterise the work of Ostara, and point to a potential for commercial success beyond the narrow world of the neofolk/gothic-industrial genres that mostly concern us here'. (FluxEuropa)
 
Eva Eden
Eva Eden is at the vanguard of London's popular music scene, on the waves of the radio, at the depths of its stream. Patrick Wolf's single ‘Accident and Emergency' features a cover of her track ‘Underworld' as a B-side. She's also taken the stage at the London's Scala, ICA and Luminaire and the radio waves care of Steve Lamacq. (Radio One).
 
Thursday 3 July

Steven Severin
Music for Silents
@
Bush Hall

After the debut show at the Woodoo Rooms in Edinburgh the 3rd of May and a few European dates Kaparte Promotions presents, in London, the premiere screening of Steven Severin’s new score to the 1926 surrealist classic "The Seashell & the Clergyman" plus a programme of scores to short films by emerging avant garde film makers.

 

Steven Severin, acclaimed solo artist and  founder member of the legendary Siouxsie and the Banshees, will play two distinct sets, split by a short interval.

 

The first part of the show will see him alone onstage premiering his new score to the 1928 surrealist classic film “The Seashell and the Clergyman (La Coquille at le Clergyman)”, scripted by Antonin Artaud and directed by Germaine Dulac, which will be projected on a screen at his side.

 

In 1927 the British Board of Film Censors banned the film, saying “If this film has meaning, it is doubtless objectionable”.

 

After the interval Severin will return to the stage to play his scores to a selection of short films by modern filmmakers Aura Satz, Bruno Forzani and Helene Cattet.

 

Steven Severin has published a collection of prose/poetry “the Twelve Revelations” and, for 5 years, released his own work and latterly that of other artists on his own label RE:

 

Since 2003 he has focussed on writing music for film and tv, whilst overseeing the remastering of the  Banshees back catalogue, undoubtedly the most thrilling and consistent catalogue of music to define the 20 years after punk.
