A unique show for film buffs and music lovers alike is set to tour the UK & Europe this September.
‘Wes Banderson: The Music of Wes Anderson’, a celebration of the original score music and deep cut needle-drops from the films of Wes Anderson, is scheduled to come to Manchester, Bristol, London and Birmingham for four special shows this year.
Performing in Team Zissou livery, the five-piece ensemble effortlessly switch between instruments as they move between the soundtracks of ‘Rushmore’, ‘The Grand Budapest Hotel’, ‘The Royal Tenenbaums’, ‘The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou’, ‘Moonrise Kingdom’, ‘The Darjeeling Limited’, ‘Fantastic Mr. Fox’ and beyond.
The group performs pieces from composers Mark Mothersbaugh, Alexander Desplatt, Sven Libaek, Shankar-Jakishan, Maurice Ravel and more, accompanied by live projected visuals.
Creator/Director Adam Znaidi, who you may also know as the bass player of The Go! Team and co-founder of The Physics House Band, says: “The aim for this show was to make it feel like a ‘gig’, something that anyone could enjoy, even if they weren’t that familiar with Wes Anderson’s films. It gets really loud, it gets really quiet and takes you on a journey through a whole load of genres.”
