Godspeed You! Black Emperor
Electric Ballroom, Camden
ANARCHIST post-rock legends Godspeed do a great job of building a wall of sound at Camden’s old goth venue, the Electric Ballroom, although you’d expect nothing less.
Since forming almost 30 years ago in Montreal, Canada, the 10-piece collective have garnered a reputation for epic live sets of Swans-esque cacophony and crescendoing intensity.
Three electric guitars, two basses, two drummers and a violinist, coupled with samples of short-wave radio transmissions, are behind their unique sound.
