NORDIC GIANTS // 8TH OCT // @ THE DUCHESS YORK

About this Event

Hunting down the elusive Nordic Giants is about as easy as tracking down the truth of the legend in the Blair Witch Project. Hidden behind feathered masks, demonic looking costumes and effortlessly changing between many instruments, nobody is fully aware of their true identity.....and their ritualistic pre show preparations of body painting and donning feathered masks and animal skins is nothing short of shamanistic. The mysterious duo perform live soundtracks to a backdrop of award winning short films which do not shy away from dealing with poignant and dark subject matters. Dreamy ambient swells, epic builds and huge moments of power overwhelm their captivated audiences who describe the experience as something akin to a religious experience.



"Giants in a time of dwarves.... I felt that I might as well pack up now, put down my brushes, with the knowledge that one is working in a lesser medium." ( Chris Bucklow Internationally re-knowned artist )



"Exciting, passionate and well-crafted, the Nordic Giants' show is a tour de force."

( William Goodchild BBC Film Composer.)



"Go and see them, but be warned, you'll never be the same again" ( Dominic Weston - Director )



"Seeing Nordic Giants play was one of those rare moments of pure, joyous relief, where you see there are elements of life that can be just perfect. What's more, that those creating the new, near faultless music could soon very well be about to make it big.." ( LM Fosse Way Magazine )



"Truly inspirational, a must see for all music lovers and film buffs" - ( Bram Ttwheam - Aardman Animations )



"Nordic Giants are truly a phenomenon. See them and you'll be forced to create a whole new genre in the musical categories of your head." ( Shorts International )



"Until now, Britain has been missing a really great emerging post-rock band. Perhaps Nordic Giants are the answer?" ( This Music Wins )
