Playing it cool like it’s 1974!
But what’s pulsing through those deep bass speakers actually comes from 2025 and goes by the name Seoi Nage – Presenting their brandnew debut album their second gig takes them straight to Raststätte Aachen!!
A hybrid of 1970s funk and film scores somewhere between Eastern cinema and Italian giallo! A full-length experience, with no commercial breaks: No Retreat - No Surrender!
Think detective music, but not in the realm of noir—rather, splashed in vibrant colors, packed with chase scenes, hedonism, and the occasional showdown. Seoi Nage, named after a classic judo throw, was an obvious choice when the four musicians first met in Münster a few years ago, bonded by their shared background in martial arts.
The lineup: Jakob Hersch (Taishogoto), Anton Zimmermann (drums) and Pogo McCartney (bass guitar, electric guitar, percussion, synthesizer & piano)—with McCartney as the group’s creative mastermind.
Originally a studio project, Seoi Nage has taken their sound to the stage in recent years, accompanied by film projections from Simon Büchting, who visually captures their retro-tinged soundscape.
Watch with your ears!
