Bosnian Rainbows

Paradiso presenteert Bosnian Rainbows in Bitterzoet. Adres: Spuistraat 2, Amsterdam.

Bosnian Rainbows is een Amerikaanse altrockband uit El Paso, Texas die sinds 2012 bestaat. De band bestaat uit The Mars Volta-leden Omar Rodriguez Lopez (gitaar, zang en toetsen) en Deantoni Parks (drums en toetsen), de charismatische Le Butcherettes-zangeres Teri Gender Bender (zang) en Nicci Kasper (synths). Bandleider en oprichter Omar Rodriguez Lopez zegt over de muzikale richting van de band: "These are very much shorter, more to-the-point songs than The Mars Volta's. They still have spaces that stretch out, but what I mean to say is that it's all the same influences that have been in most of my writing and all the people in my bands' writing. Can is there, Siouxsie and the Banshees is there, Gang Of Four is there, all the Led Zeppelin, whatever... all those things are there, it's just different elements of those things. You make it shorter. It's stripped down, it's starker. The very melodic side of Can; the very textural side of Siouxsie. You take all those elements, and you take elements that maybe you weren't exploring as much before.”
