Blixa Bargeld live!

Blixa Bargeld is the vocalist, lyricist, and driving force behind the pioneering Industrial band: Einstürzende Neubauten. (Now in their 25th year.) He was also for some 20+ years the guitarist for: Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds.
He has a solo vocal performance entitled Rede/Speech. It has never been performed outside of Europe, but he is embarking upon a West coast U.S/Canada tour, 7 dates only. He has promised never to perform this on this coast again, and even an East coast tour is iffy at best.
I would definitely encourage all Virians to check this out if you can!
His band Einstürzende Neubauten means 'Collapsing New Buildings', and they meant that not only in the Industrial noisy sense, but through transformation, mutation of ideas and music, looking forward!

Rare Solo Concert
Pseudo Scientific Entertainment
In his one man performance, Blixa Bargeld explores the boundaries of language and music. The audience bears witness to the metamorphosis of sentences, words and syllables into acoustic architecture, resounding spheres and cacophonous monstrosities.
The equipment used is reduced to a minimum: microphones, effect equipment and foot pedals, monitor boxes and two loud speakers, and a mixing panel with Boris Wilsdorf at the controls opposite the stage. That's all that Blixa Bargeld needs in order to produce a complex sound texture from a simple sentence or mere word with the possibilities of his voice alone.
At the beginning the technical apparatus is briefly explained and demonstrated; the improvisation process then becomes transparent within its definite structure. There appear to be no secrets. The intelligent entertainment in which Blixa Bargeld's listeners become entangled however, develops amazing dynamism and intensity. A peek into the laboratory of a vocal alchemist.
