“A hairy fish with legs that can climb a tree”: that is how Kuhn Fu describe themselves on their website. It sounds pretty crazy, but so does the sound of this quartet.

The Shaolin warriors with German, Turkish, Israeli, and British roots bring a rutting bass clarinet pursued by choppy guitars, unpredictable basslines and wilful drums to the table. On their debut, Kuhnspiracy, the result is a riotous mix of mouth-frothing jazz, explosive classical chamber music, and drunk oom-pah tunes. Or as they describe it in their own words: post-romantic jazz-rock. Jazz with the unhinged spirit of Captain Beefheart’s Trout Mask Replica, is what we think of. Yep, that other fish.

> Kuhn Fuh, 23/5, 21.00, La Machine
