FAIL BETTER PRESENTS: Zelt and Tashkezar + Support

You are cordially invited to an aural indulgent feast on a November Saturday evening (the 14th) at the ever so welcoming Komedia. We are excited to host Tashkezar and Zelt for the first time and reunite with Mazaika.

ZELT ZELT is a London-based, Anglo-Turkish 3-piece. A SWANA-inspired, post punk/electronic chimaera. It takes in everything from acid house squelch to the twang of surf - reflecting love of artists as diverse as vintage 70s Djelimady Tounkara and early B-52s to the eardrum busting new wave electronic of Holy F*ck and Factory Floor. ZELT regularly play live shows in London and further afield. https://linktr.ee/zelt.uk

TASHKEZAR Egyptian Psych Funk from London/ Bristol/ Brighton. Combining Egyptian 80s/90s Pop, Balkan folk, and Turkish 70s Psych. https://tashkezar.bandcamp.com/music

MAZAIKA MAZAIKA is the incredible Igor Outkine on Vocals, Accordion and his genre defying, mind blowing Midi Accordion, and versatile and virtuosic violinist Sarah Harrison, who also brings her vocal talents to the proceedings and plays a mean Russian Domra!

Known for their dazzling virtuosity, intoxicating passion and spontaneous theatricality and humour Mazaika have spent two decades enchanting audiences from the Cadogan Hall to the Crazy Coqs, Glastonbury to The Green Note and far beyond. The duo ignite the stage with Gypsy fire and Tango passion, operatic melodrama and classical virtuosity plus some hot club and hillbilly mayhem! Guaranteed to transport you from the fairytale Russian Steppe to the flickering Romany campfire, from the elegance of the Concert Hall to the glitter of The Moulin Rouge.

The duo have also brought joy, romance and touch of the unexpected to hundreds of weddings, parties and special occasions. Wherever the celebration no venue is too eccentric, no destination too remote.

Expect a unique, humorous and uplifting take on Russian Folk and Gypsy, Classical, Opera, Tango, Gypsy Jazz, Latin, Italian, French Chanson, Balkan Beat, Klezmer and evocative original material inspired by all of the above.

"the musicians tear with beautiful fury into Vivaldi's Four Seasons" **** The Times "for all their larking around when the music demands gravitas and expression, it's there in spades" **** The Herald "Wistful accordion ... the worlds first head banging accordionist" The Guardian
