Get your tickets today for July 27th as the Haw River Ballroom along with Cat's Cradle presents Altin Gun, With Roge. Hailing from Amsterdam but coming from various backgrounds, Altin Gun has captured the world's imagination with an indelible fusion, for over five years now. The band combings psychedelic rock, deep funk, synthpop, cosmic reggae, and more with rich and incredibly diverse traditions of Anatolian and Turkish folk music. Debut album On (2018) quickly captured the world's attention and a year later the band earned a prestigious GRAMMY Award nomination for "Best World Album" with it's sophomore LP Gece (2019). After two years of recording separately from home during pandemic and releasing Alem and Yol (2021) as a result, the band members of Altin Gun now recorded a live album in the studio again, called Ask. This album sees Altin Gun swinging away from the electronic, synth-drenched sound of their home recoded albums, to capture all the infectious power and urgency of the band's famously, propulsive live performances. Ask (2023) therefore marks a new start for the band, that is ready to tour the world again. Recorded using vintage equipment and techniques, the ten groundbreaking tracks on Ask all represent visionary new readings of traditional Turkish folk tunes, revealing how these ancient songs remain eternally resonant and ripe for reinterpretations. This results in an exuberant return to the 70s Anatolian folk-rock sound that has characterized Altin Gun's first two albums. This is a must see night you do not want to miss. Doors open at 7pm.
