"It has been the risktakers - some celebrated but more often men obscure in their labour - who have carried us up the long, rugged path towards prosperity and freedom." Barack Obama, 20 Jan 2009
Danish indiecountry outfit ‘The Risktaker: Bob le Flambeur’ triumphantly merges thick indierock with dark and vibrant folk. Unparalleled in worldly ambitions, the band struggles lyrically with the daunting synthesis of idealistic fallacies, seventies pornography, thirties celebrity mags, a hundred dirty pesos and russky moon travels.
The music is best described as murky mires on a summer buzz, and the use of instruments like accordion, saw, banjo and mandolin underlines the ambitions of The Risktaker: Bob le Flambeur - to play quirky songs and deliver a diverse and vibrant concert experience.
