2LP - KADAVAR - LIVE IN COPENHAGEN

For the few lucky bands who live to see a career blossom out of their passion, even fewer manage to avoid the hopeless creative stagnation that happens when hobby turns into "work". We all know that as soon as rock n' roll starts to resemble going to the office, there are no winners - everybody's screwed. As the German trio KADAVAR - arguably the hardest working band in European rock - stands on the brink of releasing their fourth full length al-bum "Rough Times", they look back at a seven year long career of doing things the other way around. Rather than this being the time to start talking about how music is just another way of paying the bills, they could not be more in tune with the main reason anybody starts a band in the first place - liberation.

Not that they are strangers to neither chart positions nor sold out venues. After being formed in the German capital city back in 2010, the word of KADAVAR playing in a different league from their retro rock-labelled peers quickly spread worldwide, resulting not only in audiences growing past the 1000 mark on their many tours, but also in chart positions for their third and latest album Berlin - entering on position 18 in Germany and 21 in the US Heatseekers charts. Highly regarded as one of the most explosive live experiences on contemporary rock scene, their secret seems to be boiled down and brewed from three ingredients: an accessible yet personalized brand of classic rock; a no-frills approach to everything they do ("minimal arrangement, maximum effect"); and that undeniable German tenacity, yet again.
