ESCAPE-ISM is the nom de guerre of mythic rock ’n’ roll provocateur / theorist / revolutionary Ian Svenonius (performer, author, filmmaker, etc). Svenonius is known for his work in the music groups The Make-Up, Nation of Ulysses Chain & The Gang, XYZ, Weird War and author of underground bestsellers such as The Psychic Soviet, Supernatural Strategies for Making a Rock ’n’ Roll Group, and Censorship Now! Recognised by Performer Magazine as the ”greatest performer on the planet”, Svenonius is profound, prophetic, perverse, and poetic.
His debut solo album an ’Introduction to Escape-ism’ was released through Merge last year and teamed up a drum machine, guitar, cassette player, and a single voice singing out… for a way out. Svenonius’ songs cry out for love, justice, redemption and insurrection, they stomp on convention and clobber notions of what music can be. Live, Escape-ism a new paradigm of performance: raw, gestural, idiotic, sublime, revolutionary, poetic, faux naif, unknowing, a drainage pipe that leads to who knows where.
Koloni is a constantly nomadic music promoter, who preferably combines artistic styles, forms and expressions.
Backed by a large personal network, Koloni books both domestic and international bands, renowned as well as unknown. Accessible experimental music shares the club stage with film screenings and performance.
