Since its birth in March 2013, this long, loud and anarchic night has provided a space for disciplined hedonism and indulgent improvisation of a strictly kaleidoscopic order.
For this 72nd iteration, the night will be collaboratively organised & curated with aloisius, founder of the gesamtkunstwerk ‘life is beautiful’, as pt.3 of Krautrock Karaoke x life is beautiful, taking place at Cafe OTO for the first time in over 10 years.
It’s freeform and collective, and the backing track is replaced by bands that come together, change and fall apart spontaneously on the night, with musicians and curious people drawn in from the street.
