KNALPOT hails from the fertile music pastures of Amsterdam. Without a doubt it is a refreshing and original experience. One minute there may be low and dirty fuzz-rock riffs, the next stumbling grooves that stutter like a rusty old engine. After that, the music might morph into hazy clouds of chirps and swirls, a moment of tranquility right before sonic noise improv comes crashing down around your ears. Soon after, there might be some low frequency rumbles to fill your stomach. Their self-proclaimed rascal style has a modernizing combo sound that is reminiscent of 1980's Commodore 64 computer game aesthetics.“ (by Klaus Grinsky) ............................................................ ............................................................ .......................KNALPOT is the collaborative product of two interesting musicians. Both of them are unmistakably rooted in rock music, but you can quickly tell they are reputable musicians experienced in many musical genres. On drums - the energetic and extroverted Gerri Jäger, known from extensively touring avant-funk band Brown vs Brown. Jäger is the motor of this tractor and is responsible for all the potholes during KNALPOT’s ongoing off-road trips. On guitar/casio/electronics Raphael Vanoli, a multi-style guitarist operating in the fields of jazz, rock, improv, experimental and contemporary classical music. Vanoli uses a unique setup of FX boxes, loop machines, handyman tools and whatever else may fall into his hands. Even though there’s only two people on stage you don’t miss any other instrument or a singer and despite all the technological trickery, every KNALPOT tune is performed 100% live without backing tracks.
