19:00 Doors 19:30 Aaron Ahrends 20:30 Kerala Dust
Kerala Dust, formed in London in 2016, effortlessly blends blues, psychedelic rock, and techno. Inspired by artists such as CAN, Tom Waits, and The Velvet Underground, the band has developed a unique sound that is both hypnotic and danceable. With their albums 'Light, West' (2020) and 'Violet Drive' (2023), they have reached a broad audience, thanks in part to their energetic and immersive live shows.
Alongside their well-known tracks, the band will perform their latest single 'Bell' live. This track, a preview of their upcoming third album, came together in fragments during recording sessions in Austin, Texas. 'Bell' is a clear statement of Kerala Dust’s evolution, musically signalling the direction of their new album, where art rock, electronic, Americana, and desert blues converge, all while maintaining a strong dancefloor energy.
With performances at festivals such as DGTL, Fusion, and Sonar, a sold-out show at Koko (London), and a previous appearance at Melkweg in 2023, Kerala Dust has proven that their sound thrives in a live setting. Expect a set that slowly gets under your skin – pulsating, cinematic, and elusive. On 10 September, they return to MAX with their new album and signature hypnotic sound.
